[Character added to the natural freshness of Bobal]

The aim of this project is to make wine that carries the stamp of the Mediterranean and yet stays fresh, light-footed and entirely its own. With that in mind, the villages of Casas de Benítez and Pozoamargo were chosen, both lying above 750 metres and close to the river Júcar.

That proximity to the river gives varied soils: pebbles at the surface, with clay and limestone beneath in some places, gravel and sand in others.

The Bobal grown on this ground is sorted bunch by bunch and berry by berry after picking, then fermented with wild yeasts in stainless steel, in concrete and in French oak. Extraction is by gravity or by hand, and the wines are aged in French oak barrels and concrete tanks.
