Vineyard Notes: The vineyards are located just east of Mérida, located near the banks of the Guadiana River. The proximity to the river creates a special microclimate with humidity that decreases the irrigation needs and favors the elaboration of wines with excellent quality. The vines are 18-50 years.

Winemaking Notes: Harvest is manual. Grapes are destemmed before spontaneous fermentation in concrete for 10 days. The wine matures in stainless steel on its fine lees around 5 months after harvest. Unfined, unfiltered, and with low SO2 (less than 25ppm).

Tasting Notes: The nose shows red fruit (strawberries, raspberries and cherries) and a touch of licorice. Silky on the palate, this Tempranillo has a bounce of freshness from the balanced acidity. It is the ideal companion for meat and cheese.

Sustainability: Aluminum cans are 100% recyclable and the most recycled beverage containers in the world. They can be recycled infinitely with no loss of quality. 3/4 of all aluminum ever mined is still in use today! Cans are also lightweight, significantly reducing transportation emissions.
