Hacienda Albae Viognier

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.

Our Viognier grapes are harvested at the exact moment of ripeness thereby obtaining the perfect acid levels necessary to make a fresh and aromatic white wine. Harvesting takes place at the end of August during the night, with the aim of guaranteeing the best quality and optimal temperature for our grapes. In order to ensure our grapes ideal conditions, our white cultivar vine is located close to the winery, making it possible for a prompt transport to our facilities.

Tasting Note:
A fruit-forward wine with a floral background makes it very elegant
 and intense. Its aging over lees attributes to the rich mouthfeel and 
body of the wine.
