Alberto Pedrón comes from a long line of vine growers in Los Pedrones, a village of fewer than 200 inhabitants in the comarca of Utiel-Requena, Valencia. The climate in this area is Mediterranean with some continental influence. The majority of vineyards that Alberto cultivates are around 700 meters above sea level, which helps maintain freshness in the finished wines. The majority of Alberto’s holding are in and around the village of Los Pedrones, though the Moscatel for Las Bairetas comes from about 40 kilometers to the northeast in the Sierra de Chiva, a mountain range encompassed by the largest natural park in the province of Valencia. Here, Moscatel and Merseguera vines share space with olive and almond groves and the largest concentration of centenary carob trees in the world. The grapes are foot-trodden in the same concrete lagares that were used by his ancestors as far back as the turn of the 20th century. Fermentation begins spontaneously with native yeasts. After about 10-12 days of skin maceration, wine is pressed off into used barrels.
