Region
In the former kingdom of Castilla-La Mancha in central Spain, we can find the largest vine-growing area in the world with an endless expanse of 300,000 hectares of vineyard. It is also the stomping ground of Miguel de Cervantes’s famous novel, Don Quixote. The huge area covered by this Denominación de Origen borders Valencia and Murcia to the East, and Extremadura to the West, Andalusia to the South and Madrid to the North-West. Wine making began here in Roman times and was widespread during the middle ages. The versatility of this land has allowed for the introduction of a wide variety of international varieties of grape.
Tasting Notes
This vibrant cherry red Tempranillo is smooth and well balanced with ripe berry fruit flavours.
Food Pairing
Perfect to accompany meat, cheese and pasta dishes.
Technical Information
The grapes are carefully selected and handpicked. Before fermentation, the grapes are macerated in an inert atmosphere and at low temperatures. Fermentation takes place at 22ºC to preserve the original aromas and flavours.
