About the Producer
Owner and winemaker Rosalia Molina crafts organic wines at one of Spain’s highest wineries in DO Manchuela. At 1,100m altitude, grapes benefit from a large diurnal range, promoting even ripening and natural acidity. Certified organic, her vineyards welcome chickens, sheep, and pigs to boost biodiversity. Grapes are hand harvested and fermented naturally with native yeasts, aged in clay amphora and French oak for texture and complexity. Skin contact lasts 2–3 weeks at controlled temperature, followed by spontaneous alcoholic fermentation with gentle pumping over for 5 weeks. Malolactic fermentation occurs in barrel.
Ageing
4 Months; 50% oak barrel and 50% in clay amphoras.
Food Pairing
Lamb is probably the best match. But aromatic meat dishes such as Thai beef or Cuban pork are good too.
