- A vibrant, juicy, unoaked Tempranillo shows great purity and typicity from high-altitude vines. Expressive aromas of red berries, rosemary, and a touch of liquorice are echoed on the fresh, rounded palate. Mesta is a range of organically and sustainably grown single-varietal wines which stylishly showcase the Spanish wine revolution under the symbol of the Mesta.
The grapes were picked in the early morning and immediately transported to the state-of-the-art winery. The berries were destalked, lightly crushed and fermented under temperature-controlled conditions in stainless steel tanks. Maceration lasted eight to 10 days to achieve a perfectly balanced style without excessive extraction. No oak was used to achieve a pure expression of high-altitude Tempranillo.

| Winery | The grapes are 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 encourages grapes with intense fruit and excellent varietal definition, retaining remarkable freshness. The vineyards are sustainably managed and organically farmed as part of an integrated ecosystem. 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. |
