VITICULTURE / VINIFICATION For us, Garnacha is one of Spain’s finest grape varieties, producing ravishingly fruity wines with a wonderful spicy character. This is especially true when it’s old vine Garnacha like this blockbuster made by top producer Bodegas Aylés, based in Aragón. Harvesting took place in early October when the grapes had reached optimum ripeness. The grapes were machine harvested from 15 year-old vines grown on calcareous clay soils. They were then de-stemmed and semi-crushed before a prefermentative maceration at low, controlled temperatures of 8-10ºC for four days. The wine was then fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. 50% of the wine spent four months in high quality oak barrels to add a vanilla smoothness and a toasty, spicy touch to the flavours.

VITICULTURE / VINIFICATION This is a classic, zesty white wine from La Mancha in central Spain. Regular continental Mediterranean climate, with warm summers, cold winters and a low rainfall, above limestone-clay grounds enriches the soil and environmental conditions that fosters the production of exceptional grape vines and plants used to produce quality wines. Our vineyards are located in a privileged situation, with an altitude that exceeds 735 meters above sea level, in the Gigüela’s river banks, which crosses our beloved village. The area’s soil is very specific of our location. It ranges from sandy-loam soils to straight ones, which have a clear limestone cut, not very deep and poor in organic matter. The grapes are harvested at night. In this way the temperature is cooler, which prevents the fermentation starts before arriving the winery. The winemaker has gone for a fresh, unoaked style, with fermentation taking place in stainless steel tanks at a cool, controlled temperature of 15ºC to preserve pure fruit flavours. Further character is added through battonage, during which the wine is stirred on the fine lees.
