- A juicy, fleshy, unoaked red wine, showing great purity and typicity of high-altitude Garnacha vines from the heart of Spain. Expressive and well-defined notes of rich, red-berried fruits and hints of violet are supported by supple tannins and excellent persistence.
Grapes were picked up early and immediately transported to the winery. The berries were destalked, lightly crushed, and fermented under temperature-controlled conditions in stainless steel tanks. Post-fermentation maceration lasted eight to ten days to achieve a perfectly balanced style without excessive extraction. The wine was made unoaked to achieve a pure expression of the fruit.

| Winery | The grapes are organically grown in high-altitude vineyards in the northernmost part of Central Castile, where the continental climate enjoys sunny days and cool nights. This diurnal temperature difference produces grapes with intense fruit and excellent varietal definition while retaining freshness. The vineyards are sustainably managed as part of an integrated ecosystem and studded with century-old oak trees. Low annual rainfall results in low disease pressure, allowing the vines to grow without fungicides. Fertilisers have never been used; only organic manure is applied, and a low, superficial tilling manages weed control. Rainwater is collected in a small reservoir and is used for drip irrigation in the case of extreme drought. |
