This winery is located in the terroir of La Mancha found in the eastern region of the Denomination of Origin. The soil is the reason that the winery committed themselves to purchasing 95 hectares (228 acres) of vineyards, located at an altitude of 660 meters (1980 ft) above sea level, with an average age of 40 year old vines.
The sandy soils (up to 1 meter in depth) have an underlayment of large river stones, with a lot of iron, clay, and chalk. The vines produce very low yields of 1-2 kgs of grapes per vine. Winters are very cold; summers are hot with cool nights and it is a very arid climate.
The Spanish enologist, Rafael Cañizares seeks to achieve the maximum expression of the Tempranillo grape grown in this environment. After very careful vineyard selections, only the best vines of Tempranillo grapes are hand harvested.

Inky purple. Dark cherry and blackberry on the nose, with complicating licorice and tobacco qualities. Firm, tightly focused dark fruit flavors offer impressively chewy texture and very good depth.

Ripe, deep nose offers cherry liqueur, coffee and dark chocolate. Rich, weighty and thick, with impressive power to the cherry and blackberry flavors. The sweetness carries through the broad, long finish, which is deepened by roasted coffee and bitter chocolate.
