The Project
The name "Ergo Atlantis" reflects our inspiration from Atlantis, an advanced and mysterious civilization that vanished beneath the waves, leaving behind a rich legend of splendor and catastrophe. Just like the relentless quest of adventurers to rediscover Atlantis, we embark on a mission to revive these forgotten vineyards and unveil the oenological treasures they hold.
Philosophy And Mission
The recovery of abandoned vineyards is not merely agricultural work; it is genuine enological archaeology.
Every vineyard we rescue tells a unique story, rooted in the past and rich with memory. These vines, which once flourished and produced exceptional grapes, were relegated to obscurity due to various factors, including climate changes, population migrations, economic crises, and other historical events.
However, as true guardians of tradition, at Ergo Atlantis, we dedicate ourselves to discovering and reviving these hidden treasures.

1. Identification:
The process begins with identifying abandoned vineyards. Through meticulous historical and field research, we locate places where vines have survived the passage of time. This first step requires a deep understanding of the land, climate, and specific conditions that allowed these vines to survive without human care.
2. Analysis:
Once located, the vineyards undergo exhaustive analysis, including soil studies, assessment of vine conditions, and identification of grape varieties present—many of which may be rare or even unknown.
3. Resurrection:
The next stage is the resurrection of the vines, involving intensive cleaning, pruning, and soil revitalization. Pruning is especially crucial as abandoned vines are often semi-buried, tangled, and disorganized. This work combines traditional techniques and modern knowledge while always respecting the plants’ original essence.
4. Care and Patience:
Our team of expert winemakers and viticulturists works with patience and dedication to ensure that each vine receives the necessary care to produce high-quality grapes once again.
5. Biodiversity Conservation:
A fundamental aspect of our recovery concept is the conservation of biodiversity. Abandoned vineyards are often refuges for wildlife and native plants that have coexisted with the vines for decades. At Ergo Atlantis, we value and protect this biodiversity, creating an environment where local flora and fauna can thrive alongside the vines.
The recovery of abandoned vineyards culminates in the production of a wine that is both a tribute to the past and a promise for the future. SangReal, our flagship wine, is the tangible manifestation of this resurrection journey.
Each bottle encapsulates not only the unique flavor and aromas of the resurrected grapes but also the history, mystery, and artistry that guide our path.

The Story Behind Sangreal
SangReal, subtitled “The Quest for the Eternal Elixir,” is the emblem of our project and a tangible manifestation of our mission and philosophy. This wine, crafted from resurrected vineyards, captures the essence of exploration and discovery. Its story is deeply intertwined with the legend of the Holy Grail—a symbol of perfection and purity—and Atlantis, a representation of lost splendor.
Surviving Vineyards
SangReal es mucho más que un vino; es el símbolo de la supervivencia y el renacimiento de viñas olvidadas. Estas vides, muchas de variedades antiguas y raras, prosperaron sin intervención humana, desarrollando una fortaleza única tras años de abandono. Su resistencia se refleja en la calidad y singularidad de cada botella, donde el arte de la selección y mezcla de las uvas es liderado por nuestro enólogo, Ángel Luis Margüello, cuya experiencia y pasión son fundamentales en este proceso. Cada viña rescatada cuenta una historia de renacimiento, evocando la leyenda del Santo Grial y la mítica Atlántida, símbolos de perfección y esplendor perdido. SangReal ofrece una experiencia sensorial incomparable, llevando al degustador en un viaje lleno de matices y sensaciones que celebran la capacidad de la naturaleza para resistir y florecer.
