The Rafael Cañizares winery is located in a unique natural environment, in the center of three mountain ranges in Alicante, Sierra de Salinas, Sierra la Umbría and Sierra de la Sima, one of the most valued areas of the Alicante PDO.
In the heart of the Alicante region
Limestone soils that have given life to the best wines since Roman times
Nearby is the site of El Puntal, from around the V and IV century BC, which is considered the most important Iberian settlement of the Alto Vinalopó. It is a privileged enclave with a great historical and natural value, which also has the Laguna de Salinas, where the rivers of the surrounding mountain ranges flow into the lagoon, which has no outlet to the rivers or the sea. It has played a key role in the history of the municipality of Salinas, making the area attractive for human settlement since prehistoric times. The area has limestone soils, with an altitude of 600 – 750 meters, covered with stones, with very little capacity to retain water, very conducive to the production of high quality wines, in fact wines were already produced in Roman times.
