A fruity, full-bodied single-varietal wine, ruby red with some violet violet reflections. Quite powerful, beautifully complex bouquet of ripe wild berries, sour cherry and a hint of pepper. A slight initial sweetness on the palate, aromatic, beautiful tannins and a harmonious, supple, full structure.

Region

Kastilien-La Mancha

Castile, the realm of windmills, yields half of Spain’s wine produce. The enormous, flat, southern half of the large central Hispanic plateau presents Spain’s more extreme conditions: at altitudes of 500 to 700 m a.s.l. it gets extremely hot and dry during summer. While the landscape is lush and green in spring, in summer it turns dark-yellow and most of the river courses dry up. The predominant type of soil is red-brown, sandy, calcareous or clayey. Viticulture is made possible due to the soil’s ability to store even scarce quantities of water. A new generation of modern-day vintners is mainly cultivating the Airén white vine type and is focussed on a clean, authentic and mainly biological production.

Producer/Brand

Don Aurelio

Im 13. Jhdt. brachten Zisterziensermönche den Weinbau aus dem Burgund ins Valdepenas, ins «Tal der Steine» zwischen Madrid und Malaga mit seine steinigen, rötlich-gelben Böden - ins heute grösste Weinbaugebiet Spaniens. Die tief liegende Kreideschicht speichert in den heissen Sommermonaten Wasser, was sich positiv auf das Rebgut auswirkt. Mit modernsten Methoden produziert hier das Familienunternehmen Navarro Lopez, 1904 gegründet, grossartige, geschmeidige Weine. Die konsequente Ausrichtung auf Sortenreinheit mit Tempranillo- und Garnacha-Trauben, die geringe Anzahl von Rebstöcken pro Hektare und der sorgfältige Barrique-Ausbau der Weine machen Don Aurelio zum echten Geheimtipp.
