來自西班牙伊比利本島唯一的火山土酒莊，建於 1758 年左右，擁有 45 公頃的 葡萄園和 100 公頃的橄欖樹，位於 Campo de Calatrava 火山地塊的中心地帶，海拔 750 至 850 米，位於著名的文化城市阿爾馬格羅(Almagro) ，黑色的火山土、紅色的土地 (紅色的赭石，據一些歷史學家稱 Almagro 鎮的名稱來源於此)，以及白堊、石質泥土都在於此。由於上次的火山噴發時間為 2000 多年前，基本上土壤狀態相較活火山來了穩定許多，對於安定葡萄酒的味道、狀 態、口感也相對有幫助。許多火山酒款偏水、偏薄，也有可能是來自不穩定地質下的結果。
1758 年酒莊成立，葡萄園位於西班牙中部 Hoya de Cervera 火山口，海拔 850 公 尺高，火山黑土、黏土、礫石等耕種地質，傳統水泥槽乳酸發酵，獲獎無數， 將 Almagro 火山特質展露無遺。賽維拉火山酒莊為每種葡萄品種的生長周期選 擇了最佳的坡度和高度。經過詳盡的土壤調查，最適合每個品種的土壤是富含 泥質鈣質和石質土壤的火山岩。
該火山公園於 1993 年被指定為國家公園與國家共同保育地，形成山地地形具 有獨特的微氣候。酒莊的歷史可追溯至 19 世紀，經過修復，擴建並配備了現 代化的發酵系統，強調尊重自然、尊重葡萄的特色，並將其發揮，從席拉、天 帕尼優一直到小維多品種。由於地質特殊、環境特殊，且富含歷史故事，該產 區正在西班牙特有酒莊 PAGO 的認證申請當中，該認證需要五年的時間，而目前預計再兩年的時間便可以取得，並且以自己酒莊名稱：Encomienda de Cervera 成立單一法定產區。
我熱愛他們對單品種的執著與自信，例如混合一半澳洲 Shiraz 與歐洲傳統 Syrah，誰想得到這種特別的釀造方式呢？酒莊 100% 席拉 Ana Noa 中火山酒款做到了！最令人訝異的是它完完整整地保留了席拉在澳洲的甜美水果香氣與 舊世界的辛香料、皮革、動物氣息。100%小維多(Petit Verdot)也是該酒莊 最老的品種與葡萄園，單一園採收與釀造，挑戰難度最高、單寧最重、辛香 料、肉豆蔻、植蔬味明顯的品種 Petit Verdot，該酒莊仍然使用古法混凝土罐進 行發酵，建造於 1927 年，也是西班牙少數可以維持傳統大型水泥槽釀造方式的酒莊（另外一個為知名的 Vega Sicilia），釀酒師將酒精發酵過後的葡萄酒注 入水泥槽中進行乳酸發酵，也正因為如此可以保留火山葡萄酒中的礦物、奶香 以及最原始的圓潤水果香氣。
Encomienda De Cervera
In the heart of the Volcanic Massif of Campo de Calatrava at an altitude between 750 and 850 meters above sea level, in the term of the noble and cultural city of Almagro, delimited by the Sierra de Arzollar, the Cañada Real Soriana, between valleys and mountains with a high density of holm oaks and junipers, rosemary, thyme, etc., is the Finca Encomienda de Cervera, where you can distinguish the black lands of volcanic origin, the red ones (Almagre) that, according to some historians, give the name of the city of Almagro, and the limestone and rocky areas.
All this, under the watchful eye of the Maar de la Hoya de Cervera Volcano, declared a Natural Monument in 1999, the calm waters of one of the main tributaries of the Guadiana River, the Jabalón River.
The rugged orography, which configures its three rain basins, offers a peculiar microclimate, with cool nights that compensates for the daytime sunshine.
Encomienda De Cervera
Encomienda de Cervera has its origin in an estate owned by the Counts of Valdeparaiso, to which King Felipe V granted the title of Encomienda in 1741, and the right to close it. These concessions and privileges were ratified by King Ferdinand VI in 1748, and again by King Carlos III in 1758.
The 950-hectares property, located in the municipality of Almagro, on the banks of the Jabalón River, consists of three valleys surrounded by the volcanic massif of "Campo de Calatrava", made up of several Strombolian volcanoes including the Maar de Cervera, classified as a national monument since 1999.
There is evidence that, in 1741, the Estate had a Residential House, an olive grove made up of 300 olive trees as well as a vineyard of over 23.000 vines. In 1887, the olive grove had 1.775 olive trees as well as a mill with a press to make olive oil, and since 1927, the estate also has a cellar for winemaking.
