Campo Flores, Tinto Orgánico, La Mancha, Spain, 2023

Producer Profile

deAlto Rioja y Más pays tribute to our long-standing love for all things Spanish: the food, the people – and of course the wine.

Master of Wine Fergal Tynan has led our winemaking team to craft a range of wines that illustrate the brilliant potential of Rioja, Navarra and La Mancha, as well as the quality of fruit that these regions can deliver when respectful, sustainable techniques are practised. Over a decade’s worth of travel and experimentation have gone into deAlto Rioja y Más, which joins the family of Alliance-owned wineries responding to the need for a more sustainable future. These wineries draw on the best vineyards to produce wines that are connected by a similar spirit of adventure, experimentation and commitment to sustainable wine production.

Viticulture

Working with farmers in Cuenca who grow grapes much as they have done for centuries, cultivating old bush vines on sandy chalk soils, in a hot dry climate they have never used, nor needed chemicals.

Winemaking

Selecting low yielding vineyards and ripe fruit to create a wine suitable for any occasion. The vineyards are closely monitored so grapes are picked at their best and the state of the art winery is well equipped with the most modern winemaking machinery to create fantastic wines. Stainless steel tanks for fermentation.

Tasting Note

An intense succulent, juicy red wine which is luscious and rugged. Supple ripe strawberry and blackcurrant fruit provides the character, and a warming spicy finish gives personality to this delicious honest red.

Food Matching

A great wine for a summer barbeque, duck, grilled meat, and jamon.
