The project of Gil Family Estates in DO Rueda.

They are planted with low-yielding vines, the oldest of which are over 120 years old and predate the phylloxera plague. Soils are composed of sand and clay.

The top-of-the-range is Shaya Habis, an outstanding varietal wine made from pre-phylloxeric vineyards fermented and aged in French oak barrels.
