VINEYARD
AND VINIFICATION

The Mediterranean climate is tempered by the area’s altitude, with short but harsh winters with snowy spells. Summers are hot during the day and cool in the evening, a factor that enhances the quality of the grapes. The vineyard stands at an altitude of 600-900m above sea level, trained in bush vines on light, loamy soils with good drainage. At the foot of the Sierra de las Cabras mountain range, the abundant flora and fauna help the soil to absorb nutrients and yeasts that play a role in the vinification process. Wine is made traditionally, mixing 30% de-stemmed grapes with whole bunches. Fermentation in tanks made with limestone from a local quarry. The short maceration time is 8 days. After pressing, the wine is transferred to oak vats, where it completes its alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. Aged in French oak barrels for 9 months. After clarification, it is bottled unfiltered.

TASTING NOTES

Cherry red with a violet rim, very clean. Red and black fruits stand out on a smoky and spicy background, which is very attractive. Fresh and fluid on the palate with an irresistible combination of Mediterranean fruit flavours, balsamic notes and aromatic herbs.

INTERESTING INFORMATION

Caravaca de la Cruz is a land of history, culture and wine, embodied in the celebrations of the Caballos del vino and the festivities of the Santísima Vera Cruz. Legend has it (hence the tradition) that in the 13th century, the Knights Templar managed to bring wine on their horses to the castle of Caravaca to prevent the people from drinking poisoned water.
