D.O. Manchuela

The appellation area lies between two rivers, the Gabriel and the Jucar.

The soils in the valleys have more clay, while the higher grounds have more limestone - some are even 100% limestone. Altitude (between 400 and 700m) is a positive factor.

Bobal -) a red grape - is the main varietal here, but one also finds a lot of local and mostly forgotten grapes like moravia agria, pintaillo, marisancho, merseguera, albillo, monastrell and macabeu. Syrah and other international varieties are also gaining some ground.

Description

“Who do you belong to?”, quite literally. Vino de Pueblo — the Spanish equivalent of a “village wine” — crafted from old vines and made exclusively from the traditional grape varieties of the region. It’s also an ethical wine, made through crowdfunding to support and empower local farmers. A highly distinctive and characterful wine. The Tardana vineyards are between 60 and 70 years old, planted on parcels at 400 metres altitude, primarily on limestone and clay soils. The Macabeo comes from vines that are 30 to 50 years old, planted at 700 metres, also on limestone and clay. The other white grapes are field blends from vines aged between 80 and 100 years, on similar soils as the previously mentioned varieties.
