Nobleza del Sur : The secret of their success
As a passionate producer deeply attached to the land, Nobleza del Sur is highly aware of the issues surrounding biodiversity and ecosystem protection. No chemicals are used to maintain the grounds. Instead, the company relies on the natural fertilizer provided by horses roaming freely amongst the centuries-old olive trees, thus preserving the beauty of the landscape and the lives of the various species that have made these lush prairies their home.
For Nobleza del Sur, these majestic animals symbolize loyalty, love and honour.
