Punctum Biodynamic Family Vineyards was founded in 2005 as a family venture by three siblings. Today, more than fifteen years later, it’s a winery dedicated to organic and biodynamic wine with a presence in more than 40 countries across four continents.

Our wines are made from grapes grown in our own vineyards, located in the town of Las Pedroñeras, Cuenca. From the beginning, our main motivation has been to offer the highest quality products, made in a natural and environmentally friendly way. To achieve this, we work in close collaboration with nature, using organic and biodynamic farming techniques that respect the natural cycle of the plants and the ecosystem in general. This way, we obtain unique, high quality wines with an unforgettable flavour.

OUR VINEYARD
In the province of Cuenca near central Spain, our vineyard and estate are located in an area where wine culture has been around for decades. It is believed that winemaking originated here in Roman times, and it quickly developed during the medieval period.

We sit in an altitude of 800 meters above sea level, which ensures intense aromas, freshness and deep colors for our wines. The soil, clay-based and rich in limestone, helps retaining water, essential for the health of the vines.

We reap the benefits of a continental-mediterranean climate, which brings plenty of sunlight hours to our vineyard and ripens the grapes easily. However, during the night the temperature drops and creates a sharp contrast that heightens the aromas and flavors of the wine.

SUSTAINABILITY
In our continued commitment to the environment, at Punctum Biodynamic Family Vineyards we have started our path towards a Carbon Neutrality Certification. We are improving our energy efficiency and changing production materials and packaging. To offset our carbon footprint, we will be financing forestry projects.
As an organic and vegan winery, we have already implemented other sustainability measures: the energy for our facilities comes 100% from renewable sources, and we recycle 100% of our waterwaste and waterfall for irrigation.

We have installed solar panels at the winery for our self-consumption. This installation contributes more than 370,420 kWh per year of our total energy consumption, and prevents the emission of 107 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere per year.
