Vineyards
The organic vineyards are positioned 700 metres above sea level, and benefit from a continental climate, with hot, dry summers and cold winters. The producer embraces biodiversity and minimal intervention, allowing the Cabernet Sauvignon vines to express their fullest potential in La Mancha’s distinctive clay and limestone soils.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested at peak ripeness and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, preserving the fresh fruit character and varietal integrity of Cabernet Sauvignon. A portion of the wine is aged in American oak barrels, adding structure and subtle layers of complexity.
Appearance

Palate
