Principal grape varieties

Terroir

• The vineyard is situated on the slopes of the Sierra de Malagón, south-facing and sheltered from northerly winds, in a sun-exposed position.
• The vineyard lies alongside the natural lagoons of Nava Grande and Nava En medio, and its maximum and minimum temperatures do not reach the extremes recorded in the surrounding area.
• The vineyard soil is a mixture of particles of calcareous and siliceous origin.
• The vineyard is located in the municipal district of Malagón, in the province of Ciudad Real, within Castilla-La Mancha. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)

• Harvest begins fifteen days earlier than in the surrounding vineyards, as the terroir conditions promote earlier ripening of the grapes.
• The wine is made by blending Tempranillo, which accounts for at least 90%, with variable proportions of Syrah and Petit Verdot, each variety vinified separately.

• The wine is characterised by a deep, very dark red colour, together with aromas of very ripe fruit.

• The aspect and the influence of the lagoons impart earlier and more advanced ripening to the grapes, producing aromas of very ripe fruit and a genuinely fresh sensation on the palate.
