The vines, with an area of 12 ha, are located around the Romanesque monastery of Santa María del Olmo and the vines are mainly Garnacha (black and white) and Mazuelo. Naturally, there are vines that have been replanted, but they are still preserved from originals that are more than 100 years old. In the beginning, the production of wine was its own until the cooperatives appeared, at which time it became the Masarac Cooperative and later the Espolla Cooperative, after its merger in 2006.
Finally, the peasant retired, and the Viñedos de la Dot society was established, headed by winemaker Blanca Ozcariz Raventós, to continue the exploitation and production of wine.
