Description

  • Unoaked
  • Black cherries
  • Subtle spice
  • Expressive

"It's sweetly ripe and instantly appealing on the nose with dark plum, olive, roasted hazelnut and subtle cocoa aromas, followed by a succulent palate that's beautifully rounded and flavoursome. Wonderfully balanced and harmonious with plenty of delectable flavours. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2023

A juicy, fleshy unoaked red wine, showing great purity and the typicity of high-altitude Garnacha from the heart of Spain, with expressive and well-defined aromas of black cherries and strawberries over subtle notes of spice and herbs. Bright ruby red colour. Fresh and with an excellent persistence on the palate.

The Mesta was a powerful association of shepherds in Medieval Castile, controlling the routes for herding sheep across the country. Our vineyards are nestled deep in the land of the Mesta, and are still passed over by flocks on their annual migration, a reminder of ancient rights and a cultural cue for continuing co-existence with nature Through organic viticulture and respectful winemaking, we produce wines of great purity, reflecting the unique personality of our land and grape varieties.

Produced from our own, organically farmed vineyards in Uclés (Castile, Spain). Managed as an integrated ecosystem and studded with centenary oak trees. The continental climate with sunny days and cool nights allows us to achieve intense fruit and excellent varietal definition, while retaining remarkable freshness. Grapes are picked at night or in the early morning hours and shipped quickly to our state-ofthe-art winery for destalking, light crushing and fermentation under controlled temperature in stainless steel. Maceration lasts for 8-10 days to achieve a perfectly balanced style without excessive extraction. No oak is used for a pure expression of high-altitude Garnacha from the heart of Spain.

Food Pairing: Versatile, medium to full bodied food wine, excellent with grilled, stewed and braised meats as well as pasta and tapas.
