Los Aguilares is conceived as an extension of the landscape. Excavated beneath the existing winery, it uses the ground itself as architecture: its mass, darkness and thermal stability create the conditions required for the preservation and evolution of the wine.
Descending underground transforms the perception of space. Temperature drops, sound is absorbed and natural light gradually disappears. Architecture, material and light create a stable, silent atmosphere connected to the geological character of Ronda. The Sacristy thus becomes part of the winemaking process itself: earth, silence and time as the conditions for transformation. LIMESTONE
Excavated beneath Cortijo Los Aguilares’ winery, the sacristy uses the earth itself as architecture. Mass, darkness and thermal stability support the wine’s ageing. Limestone, silence and controlled light create an underground space connected to Ronda’s geological character.
