Winemaker Elias Lopez describes this as "Spain's answer to Pinot Noir," and it's easy to see why. With a unique and beautiful, transparent peach-rose colour, this is almost a rosé wine, however it has concentration and complexity that's virtually never seen in rosé. It has classic red Burgundy aromas of ripe cherries, rosehips and earthy, leafy, 'woodland walk' nuances, alongside an alluringly fresh apricot character that is all of its own. In the mouth, it is succulent and rounded, with surprising body for such pale colour, and yet such soft tannins as to be pretty much unnoticeable. With a hauntingly long finish, this marvellous wine is drinking beautifully now and over the next 3-4 years at least. This is crafted in the way Spanish wines used to be made before French got involved in the 19th Century. It is aged underground in large clay 'tinajas'.

Press Review
96/100 - Pale in colour yet concentrated with bright and lively fruit, this is a fantastic expression of Garnacha from Central Spain. Brown sugar and strawberry jam combine with clove and wild herbs as well as a touch of tobacco leaf. Chalky tannins and bright acidity give energy and lift. It finishes with a touch of Christmas spice and speaks to the variety when well-managed from warmer climbs. 2025-28
Press Review
17/20 - Tasted blind. Very pale garnet. Nose with lots of dried flowers, thyme and maraschino cherries. On the palate it is super-delicate, subtle, smooth, with very mellow tannins and an aerial character. It finishes with a touch of fresh cherry that lifts it up. Deep and full of aroma. The most aerial and refined version of Castilla-La Mancha. 100% Garnacha. 40% whole bunch. It was pressed when it reached 8% alcohol and finished the alcoholic fermentation in tinajas, where it also rested for a year.
