Ripe red cherries sing out against a floral background. A wine with real freshness, poise, and energy; medium-bodied and elegant, combining the purity of fruit and mineral complexity. A very approachable personality with notes of cherries in liqueur a la Chateauneuf du Pape but with the austerity of the white granite soils on the palate-91 points Wine Advocate

The Soto Manrique family first came to winemaking in Rueda. Still, as the second generation has joined the business, they have turned their attention to producing wines in the Cebreros DO, located in the Sierra de Gredos mountain range to the west of Madrid. This up-and-coming region is starting to gain plaudits for producing a unique style of Garnacha, with an almost Pinot-like elegance and finesse, crafted from old vines planted on granite and slate soils. They also cultivate the indigenous Albillo Real, an aromatic white grape, which is given a spell of skin contact to add structure and complexity.
