The very high vineyard of La Doncella de las Vinas

This red wine, La Doncella de las Vinas, is made from Tempranillo and Syrah grapes grown in a very high vineyard. We ascend a remarkable 1100 meters, creating a cool microclimate in the vineyards. The old, thick trunks have established themselves and have very deep roots. These roots provide the clusters with the right nutrients and contribute to the complexity of this red wine. The perfect, cool climate allows for very slow ripening of the clusters, resulting in an exceptionally powerful juice.
