Location Los Pandos covers an area of 830 hectares in the locality of Almansa in Albacete beauty province. Part of the larger region of Castilla la Mancha, Los Pandos, with its own vineyard, is at the heart of one of the country’s best known wine producing regions.

Within just one hour’s drive of Los Pandos, are the airports of Alicante, Murcia and Valencia. Each also boasts a sea port with Valencia’s being the second largest logistical port in Spain. There are train links from all three to Madrid and Almansa is also well connected by road with motorway links to all major towns and cities.

Although present infrastructure is more than adequate for the development of Los Pandos, a high speed rail network – the AVE - is already underway. The central hub of the new rail connection, due for completion in 2010, will be Almansa.

History Los Pandos has had a rich historical past. Passed through the hands of generations of the same family for centuries, the land has been documented since 1674.

In 1707, Los Pandos found itself at the heart of one of the most decisive battles of the War of Spanish Succession – the Battle of Almansa. Five years of fierce fighting had resulted in coalition armies scrambling for Europe, on one side the allied Franco- Spanish Bourbon army led by a British Duke and on the other, the Anglo-Portuguese Austro troops led by a French Earl. On 25th April they clashed, in what Frederick the Los Pandos Logo Great later described as “the most incredible battle of our century”. Up to this point, Designed to represent the the Anglo-Portuguese had been the stronger of the warring factions and their dream rolling hills of Los Pandos, it’s of a Federal system looked set for the future for Europe. In just two hours, at Los Pandos, wine making and the ecological importance of the four seasons the Bourbons won the battle thus changing the course of history. With their vision that make it all possible. for consolidating Spain and creating a Centralist Europe – independent countries governing themselves, a new model for Europe was born. Had the battle on that fateful April day gone the other way, today’s Europe would look very different.

At one time, wine from Castilla la Mancha was thought to be the highest quality in the country. Quantity overtook quality turning the region into Spain’s highest producer but to the loss of its reputation. Thankfully, the region is returning to its roots and no more so than at Los Pandos. There, Martin & Clews are marrying traditional methods of production with innovative methodology with the aim of once again, producing superior wine to rival those of La Rioja and Ribera del Duero.

In late 2007, initial studies were carried out to identify the condition of the land and its features. This initial agronomic report is being used as the foundation for development by Agronomist and Biologist Jaume Soler, in charge of
