Product info
Arroba is a natural wine made from 100% Pintaillo, an almost extinct grape variety.
Only two foudres are produced each year! Perfect for those who enjoy light-bodied red wines with low alcohol.

The grape used for this red wine goes by two names — Pintaillo and Pintailla — hence the name Pintaill@.
This local variety is nearly extinct and is only found in mixed plots alongside other grape varieties.
Its name comes from the spots (“pintas”) that appear on the skin during veraison.
It’s at that moment that the vines are marked to be followed separately in the vineyard until harvest.

Arroba is also a traditional unit of measurement in the region, equivalent to 16.2 litres of wine.
Vinification
Sourced from several old vineyards with selection, as there are no more vineyards of 100% Pintaillo. Arroba receives its fermentation in a small cuve with daily pigeage. Natural stabilization after fermentation and pressing using a vertical press. No sulfite added. No barrel aging.
Storage potential
Drink as from : 2022
Best moment : 2023-2024
Until : 2028
To serve
May be served fresh. Best to decant to allow the co2 to escape. This is a wine without sulfite, so best to shake a bit so the reduction disappears first.
Trial analysis
Very transparent in color. Aromas of raspberry and northern cherry. Vegetal touch on attack. Very smooth drinker, super-elegant and fresh. At only 11.5% alcohol, it goes in very smoothly. Tannins elegantly present. Long yet fresh finish.

Wine estate

Gratias is the creation of four friends, Ivan, Ana, José and Silvia who decided to make wines together, in the respect of the terroir and the people of their village. Their wines are the most natural possible, and without any added sulphur.

Description

Envínate works in several regions across Spain. The common thread in their wines is elegance and an Atlantic character. This Albahra (“small lake”), however, is their Mediterranean wine, while still remaining light-footed and elegant in style. It is made mainly from Tintorera, sourced from a small 3-hectare vineyard in Almansa planted on clay-limestone soils. The blend is complemented by Moravia Agria, a grape variety of which only about 50 hectares remain planted across the whole of Spain. This grape is known for its high acidity and relatively light colour. The vineyard is located in Manchuela on clay-limestone soils with a sandy top layer. In 2024, a small amount of Garnacha was also added.

Beside the great wines of the estate like Acrollam, Tripsol and Sotil, the Sincronia range is hosting the "little brothers". Its label recalls the Majorcan life with its boats on the coast and landscapes in the hinterland. Because having roots a-is as important as being open to the outside world.

Description

The La Petxina vineyard, located in the El Sas zone, forms the basis of this juicy and vibrant red made from grenache and carinyena. Until recently, a small amount of cabernet was included, but today the blend consists exclusively of 70% garnatxa and 30% carinyena. The soil is composed of spotted phyllite, a light, slate-like formation. The grenache and carinyena vines were planted between 1994 and 1998. First vintage produced in 2008.
