About this winery

In 1994, Pablo Eguzkiza and Telmo Rodríguez, along with a third oenologist, created a Garnacha from old bush vineyards in Navarra. The wine was called Alma (soul).

Product notes

Fermentation: Native and selected yeast Our project in Valdeorras is acquiring a very clear personality and because of this we've decided to change the wine label. The two new labels are based on the iconic bridges found within the Santa Cruz region. We have now had the second harvest of the Mencia grapes and they are a total revelation. We are convinced that over time this will become one of the most original red wines of northern Spain Soil: Placed about 550 m of altitude. Shallow soils, with terraces due to steep slopes, versant to south, west and northwest, stony, acid and coarse textured. Developed from granodiorites (granites). Low fertility and low water retention capacity Viticulture: Own grapes and traditional suppliers Harvest: Selection in vineyard. 100% hand picking.

Tasting notes

Colour: Light straw. Refreshingly bitter wine, showing lime and lemon zest qualities and a hint of quinine. Aromas: Bright citrus and green apple aromas are underpinned by energetic minerality. Flavours: Finishes with a deeper chamomile flavor and good persistence.
