Garnacha from 100 year old vines in Valdeponzos, Najerilla Valley. Lighly extracted and a year aging in casks, mirroring how they do it in Burgundy for a slept on, softer portayal of Rioja.
Full-bodied Tempranillo with dark berry fruit and strong tannins. Good acidity from a high vineyard elevation keeps this wine tasting fresh. The Red table wine to go with weeknight dinners.
Thick blackberry and plum soaked in oak, from a lesser known region in Spain. La Mancha stretches from the mountains of Toledo to the western spurs of the Cuenca hills, east of the Balearic Sea. The name is thought to have come from an Arabic word المنشأ al-mansha, meaning "land without water" which describes the region's dryland farming soils.
