Located in the northwest of Murcia, Spain, our vineyards are situated within a rugged mountainous landscape that forms part of the outer ranges of the Betic Cordillera. The area is characterized by limestone and dolomitic formations that have shaped the local terroir over millions of years, creating a unique geological environment that strongly influences vine growth and wine character.
Although the climate is Mediterranean, the altitude of the vineyards (850 meters above sea level) provides significantly cooler conditions than in most Mediterranean wine regions. Average annual temperatures remain below 18.5°C, while annual rainfall exceeds 400 mm, resulting in a temperate climate that promotes slow, balanced ripening and excellent preservation of freshness and acidity.
Raigón is produced from 100% Garnacha sourced from our estate vineyards in Caravaca de la Cruz. The vines are planted on clay-loam soils with a high limestone content and are cultivated without irrigation. As a result, the roots penetrate deep into the soil in search of water and nutrients, enhancing the expression of terroir.
Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in handcrafted fossil limestone vessels designed and built by the winery. This unique winemaking approach allows for a pure expression of the vineyard while preserving the authenticity of the fruit.
The wine is aged for 16 months in 500-liter French oak barrels.
After a light fining, the wine is bottled unfiltered to preserve its purity, texture, and natural character.
Expressive, elegant and complex. The nose initially reveals delicate floral aromas of violet intertwined with fresh red fruit notes of strawberry and redcurrant. As the wine opens in the glass, these primary aromas evolve into more complex nuances that reflect the mountain landscape where the vineyard is located, revealing fresh balsamic notes and Mediterranean herbs such as thyme, rosemary and chamomile.
On the palate, the wine is silky, rounded and beautifully textured, with an almost creamy mouthfeel balanced by vibrant freshness. The high-altitude vineyard contributes tension, elegance and a long, fresh finish that highlights the wine’s sense of place.
Caravaca de la Cruz is a land of history, culture and wine, represented in the festivities of the Caballos del vino and the fiestas of the Santísima Vera Cruz. Legend has it (hence the tradition) that in the 13th century, the Templars managed to carry wine on their horses to the castle of Caravaca to prevent the people from drinking poisoned water.
