Description

The first great foothills of the Sierra de Gredos define the landscape of one of the most northerly villages in Toledo, El Real de San Vicente. A collection of small parcels of Garnacha in traditional vineyards, which contain all the personality of this most fundamental Iberian grape variety.

We use its grapes to make one of Arrayán’s most characteristic wines. A brilliant example of the greatest virtues of these lands that swing between granite and slate, the ancient geology leaning it a vibrant, penetrating and lively nerve.
