The winemaking traditions of our region are combined harmoniously with the latest, cutting-edge techniques. We are committed to preserving our grape-growing landscape and bottling only those wines which reflect our viticultural heritage. We practice respectful wine growing in a search for fruity expressions of the local varieties of grapes. Our wines are defined by their drinkability, their typicity and the life-affirming joy of our Spanish essence.
WINEGROWING:
It begins with a careful selection of the best grapes of the variety Cencibel, (also called Tempranillo).These grapes are collected at their best ripeness.The musts are fermented with grape skin contact at a controlled temperature. During the fermentation process several "pump-overs" are made to assist in the extraction of varietal aromas, tannins and color. The fruit of our labor is reflected in the numerous awards and outstanding reviews obtained by this wonderful wine.
The winery is located in the highest altitude area of D.O. La Mancha at 700 meters above sea level. This high altitude gives long hours of bright sunshine and moderates the daytime harvest temperatures and creates cool nights, which help slow ripening and retain acidity in the grapes. Our Tempranillo vineyards are grown to perfection in our warm continental climate in calcareous clay soils which retain water well and allow the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly. Our wines pass through a triple selection process: in the vineyard during the harvest, upon arrival at the winery and finally when creating our final blends.
