At DOMINIO D’ECHAUZ, as guardians of millennia-old biodiversity, we preserve and pass on Spain’s viticultural heritage.
Spanish viticulture is at a turning point. Genetic erosion threatens key resources in the face of climate change and a legacy spanning two millennia. The causes include current cultivation trends and the planting of only a few clones, selected based on yield criteria.
That is why we safeguard the world’s largest collection of grapevine biotypes—more than 16,000—the result of the “BASAJAUN” project at our family-run nursery, VITIS NAVARRA. We want to preserve them, study them, propagate them, and inspire the industry to protect this unique heritage.
