Hacienda Albae Tempranillo

Following 40 years of growing grapes, the Carpintero family decided it was time to turn their amazing fruit into their own wines. In 2001, they began experimenting and a few years later they were convinced they had the right quality fruit for the wines they wanted to make. The winery was built in the heart of La Mancha, surrounded by their own vineyards and is one of the most beautiful and technologically advanced wineries in the region. No expense has been spared to ensure maximum quality, their very clear goal. State of the art fermentation tanks so they can vinified each parcel seperately. Their own machine harvesters allows them to pick at the perfect point of ripeness, which passes quickly here in the hot dry planes of central Spain. A stunning and well equipped barrel cellar provides the finishing touch.

The unique personality of our Hacienda Albae Tempranillo is attributed to our oldest vines, some of them are over 35 years old. Aged in new, heavy toasted American oak barrels for six months.

Tasting Note:
High intensity in the nose of red fruits, licorice and toasted nuances. The palate is elegant, well-structured, round, long with a fresh and fruity finish.
