The Consigna Tempranillo Syrah, meticulously crafted by the renowned Félix Solís, represents the heart and soul of Castilla-La Mancha's vast landscapes. This region, famous for its extreme climatic conditions and soils rich in limestone and clay, offers a unique terroir perfectly suited to growing Tempranillo and Syrah grapes. At an altitude of 700 meters above sea level, these grapes ripen to peak maturity under the Spanish sun, resulting in a wine with deep color, rich textures, and unparalleled complexity.
Vinification: A Balance between Tradition and Innovation
Félix Solís, a family winery with a rich history dating back to 1952, has created a masterful blend by combining traditional techniques with modern vinification methods.

The Tempranillo and Syrah grapes, each contributing their own unique touch to the blend, create a harmonious, well-structured wine that can be enjoyed young, yet offers a rich texture and a perfect balance of tannins and fruit.
