Region
The great plain of La Mancha, to the south of Madrid and east of Toledo, represents the largest viticultural area of Spain. The climate is arid, extreme in both summer and winter, tempered by strong prevailing winds.
The widely planted white Arien grape variety is slowly losing favour to Tempranillo, Shiraz and Garnacha and the old wineries are giving way to gleaming modern facilities heralding a revolution for the region`s winemaking.
Producer
Dominio de Punctum is situated in the town of Las Pedroneras at the north end of La Mancha. It was founded in 2005 and run by the Fernandez family, the estate currently includes over 150 hectares of vineyards. The winery is located adjacent to the vineyards allowing to keep the maximum quality in the production of the whites, reds, young and aged wines. Since the beginning they have focused on organic and biodynamic production.
Tasting Notes
This organic blend of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon is a bright cherry red in colour with aromas of red berries and cherries on the nose. The palate is smooth with crunchy red fruits and a refreshing acidity. Soft tannins add structure to the wine which finishes long and fruity.
Food
Ideal with barbequed meats and saussages.
