Vineyard and terroir
The vineyards lie in Alpera, Albacete, Castilla-La Mancha, at elevations of 650–700 metres. Cool mountain breezes moderate the site. The vineyards have favourable exposure, while chalk and limestone characterize the soils.
Grapes
80% Tempranillo and 20% Syrah.
Vinification
The varieties are vinified separately and blended shortly before bottling. Tempranillo ferments in stainless-steel tanks for seven days. Syrah is destemmed and fermented in rotating stainless-steel tanks. Maceration lasts 10–15 days at 26°C. The finished wine undergoes light clarification, cold stabilization and amicrobic filtration before bottling to preserve its sensory character.
Tasting profile
Deep ruby red, clear and bright. Ripe red berries and wild berries shape the aroma. The palate is balanced, fruit-driven and easy to drink, with medium persistence and an aftertaste of red fruit and licorice.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 16–18°C with first courses, grilled or roasted meat, and aged cheese.
