This beautiful rosé is a wine from the Fernández Cifuentes family, owners of Dominio de Punctum. Dominio de Punctum was founded in 2005 with the goal of producing superb wines using entirely organic grapes. The family found their fortune in the La Mancha wine region, settling at the intersection of the cities of Cuenca, Ciudad Real, and Albacete. This is where the winery gets its name, as Dominio de Punctum translates to "estate at the intersection." After a few years, the winery gained instant recognition, receiving numerous wine awards from the international wine press. A well-deserved prize, as it reassured the family that they were on the right track. This Norte Sur Rosé Garnacha is one of the family's finest wines, and they are proud of it.
The harvest of the Garnacha grape
The vineyards are meticulously maintained, as this is the only way to cultivate fully organic Garnacha grapes. The grapes for this Norte Sur Rosé come from two vineyards, Finca el Fabián and Las Pedroñeras, in La Mancha. Here, the climate is perfect, with abundant sunshine and warm afternoons during the ripening period. The Garnacha grapes also benefit from the cooling breeze and sharply falling nighttime temperatures. This climate provides natural protection against pests and diseases in the vineyards. Harvesting begins early in the morning at perfect ripeness to protect the bunches during transport to Dominio de Punctum.
