- An elegant field blend showing vibrant aromas of red fruit over a subtle spicy note of white pepper. Light and delicate with wonderful purity of fruit, underpinned by refreshing acidity and soft, lingering tannins. This is a food friendly wine from high altitude vineyards.
The grapes are grown in the Sierra de Gata in the northwest in the province of Caceres. The vineyards are located in high altitude sites of between 700 to 1,100 metres above sea level, where the vines grow typically in small terraced parcels surrounded by pine woods. The diurnal temperature fluctuations at this elevation encourage a long, gradual ripening season for the fruit, producing concentrated flavours from the warm, sunny days coupled with fresh, balancing acidity from the cool nights. The very old bush vines are up to 90 years old and produce low yields of concentrated juice. Planted in decomposed granite soils, these vines produce fine, elegant wines. The vineyards are planted with a number of unusual varieties, most of which are not planted anywhere else in Spain. The vines are hand-harvested as a field blend.
Vinos de Montaña is a range of mountain wines from high-altitude vineyards in Sierra de Gredos and Sierra de Gata in the Sistema Central, the mountain chain that divides the Iberian Peninsula in its northern and southern halves. This project aims to
reinvigorate old vineyards and sustain the communities that farm them. The wines are based mostly on very old Garnacha vines which are grown in granite soils, resulting in a perfumed, delicate and fresh expression of Garnacha, displaying the character of the vineyard parcels and villages in which they were grown.
