Viñedos Verticales El Camaleón

Wine Story

Viñedos Verticales is the dream come true of two friends: Juan Muñoz, the 3rd generation of winegrowers and winemakers in the region and Vicente Inat, a winemaker with experience in several wine growing areas. In 2015 we began on this adventure, together with our families, with the idea of making wines that express the land where they are born.

We are located in Moclinejo, a small town in Axarquía (Málaga), an area very close to the Mediterranean Sea, with old vineyards growing on vertiginous slopes of schists, phyllites and slate soils. The queen of our vines is the Muscat of Alexandria, along with other varieties such as Pero Ximén, Doradilla, Garnacha and Romé.

Viticulture is still very traditional here, and heroic in its own way due to the steep rocky hillsides, creating an inseparable link between the land, the vineyards, and the mules.

Our philosophy is to work respectfully with the environment, both in the vineyard and in the winery, with ecological products and natural fermentations. We use stainless steel, concrete vats and tanks, wooden barrels and large oak casks that are more than 100 years old.

This unique terroir, the age of the vineyards and the nature of its people make the Axarquía a singular place to work. We have small, high-quality productions that result in original wines with great minerality and longevity.
