Wine Interpretation Center / Winery Nestares Rincón

The Juan de Reyes estate is located at 1352 meters altitude in the Contraviesa Mountain Range, the heart of the wine tradition of the Alpujarras. The vineyards are here, under the breathtaking views of the snow capped mountains of Sierra Nevada and the Mediterranean Sea. Our grapes Tempranillo, Merlot and Syrah grow under sunlight.

THE CENTRE:

The Wine Centre “Alpujárride” is located in the Sierra de la Contraviesa. It has the highest and oldest oaks of the Iberian Peninsula, the “Haza del Lino” and hills where vineyards, almond and fig trees abound. Once there we can contemplate any extension of Sierra Nevada and at the turn around, we will see the Mediterranean Sea from Adra to the mountains flanking the town of Motril.

This place feels like stress immediately left behind … … the busy city life and daily routine.

The building, surrounded by 7 hectare immersed in the typical Mediterranean maquis organic vineyard, is influenced by the foundation of bioclimatic architecture, integrated into the environment and maintaining low energy consumption.

So, the building remains largely underground. The couple has strategic entrances with natural light will get a very cozy atmosphere.
