Pago Casa Gran

The surprise is more than justified, and Carlos Laso's mother provides the answer. Her husband, who died many years ago, was a great admirer of Alsace wines. He bought vines in Alsace and planted them on the family's estate in Moixent, near Valencia. For this low-acid, thin-skinned grape variety, the location is actually far too far south. Carlos Laso sees this as a challenge. Despite all the gloomy predictions, first his father and now his team have succeeded in turning Gewürztraminer into a floral, delicate white wine that harmonises in the blend with equally subtly vinified Moscatel.
Carlos specialises in growing grapes and making elegant wines. Even from the rugged Monastrell grape, he develops delicate, elegant wines. All his wines charm with a very ripe yet delicate and soft structure.
The foundations of his 'sensitive' wines are laid in the beautiful vineyards around the Casa Gran estate. Carlos consistently uses natural green cover in the vineyards. These plants begin their growing season very early and dry out almost completely in summer. The natural vegetation cycle is largely left undisturbed, giving the associated fauna and flora a chance to develop too. The idea is to achieve the greatest possible natural balance in a cultivated landscape. Cultivated plants also develop their natural defences and individual character, encouraging healthy, aromatic fruit to ripen: top-quality wine grapes.
For several years, Casa Gran has been an EU-funded project to increase biodiversity. As part of this, for example, rows of vines were removed at certain intervals and olive trees planted instead. This mixed planting not only adds variety to the landscape but also supports ecological balance by providing nesting places for birds.
Alongside grapes, the finca has always grown other agricultural products.
