Description

On the right bank of the Alberche River, the steep slopes of the Sierra de Gredos make their first, albeit timid, appearance.  The slopes around Almorox are planted with our region’s major white variety: Albillo Real.  Delicate yet resilient, the old vines intensify a mineral character.

The wine takes us on a journey through mountain scrubland, with its gorse bushes and thickets of woody herbs.  With notes of flowers and citrus fruit, it is flavourful, fresh and shows early notions of finesse.
