Since almost every agriculturalist from the city of Aniñón is joined the 2563 “Niño Jesús” A.S.T., it is easy to understand the social importance of it, being the main source of development for the local economic activity.
Vineyard growing, toghether with the cherry and the almond, is the prop of this A.ST.´s activity. It provides us with the grapes (low production grapevines : an output of 1´5-2 kilograms per grapevine) from which later we obtain our wines and we trade them with the brand-name of ESTECILLO (under the label of quality with which the Calatayud Guarantee of Vintage rewards these wines).
In the year 2000, after having carried out high investment, over 360.000 euros, in the systems of elaboration
and storage of wines, we began to trade bottled wines.
Nowadays we are facing up to a trading campaign and its subsequent promotion and advertising abroad.
In the millennium year, 2000, we introduced new state of the art technology and began to make and promote our own, property-bottled, fine wine under the ESTECILLO label. This process has allowed us to express all the more eloquently the age-old viticultural traditions that approximately 150 of our members still adhere to. The average age of the vines in our vineyards exceeds 30 years.
Cherry tree growing has great value for the region of Calatayud and in some cities, Aniñón among them, it is the main harvest.
At the present, the most important variety in this area is the Monzón or Garrafal Napoleón one, which is intended to the alcohol in chocolates, to sirup or to sulphurous to be later used in jam; but we are starting to extend the varieties of table´s cherries grown by our partners: burlat, sumburt, summy, picota...etc.
It focuses on the oil-mill where he proceeds to milling olives partners, of which extra virgin olive oil, packaging and marketing of the same is obtained.
Olive cultivation is of great importance in the town of Aniñón, complementing crop cherry, almond and grape crops are the mainstay of agriculture in the locality.
The amount of olives you can get to grind can overcome 500TM. per year, which
represents approximately 120,000 liters of extra virgin olive oil.
