Description

The paths zigzag between broom bushes and granite rocks.  The siliceous geology brings the most easterly section of the Sierra de Gredos its differentiating character.  The mountains rise abruptly, and at more than 700 metres altitude, the valleys guard the secret of its corners of vines.  Albillo Real has a safe home on these slopes.

Aromatic and intense, the wine’s varietal soul adds to its noticeable volume and silky texture.  Its acidity and finish, full of power and mineral persistence, are the culmination of an experience of emotion and pleasure.
