LUIS MARIN, Spain
With a winemaking heritage stretching back centuries and a devotion to Garnacha that has been passed down from generation to generation, they take the abiding view that old vines should be cherished, no matter how low the yield, in the interests of making better wine. It is upon that resolute defiance of convention that their reputation has been built, create wines of incredible value with a varietal character that remains true to their quiet corner of Spain.
Viticulture
The region itself is blessed with an abundance of sunshine hours, whilst the strong Cierzo wind, which blows down through the Ebro Valley moderates temperatures, giving the grapes thicker skins and characteristic concentration of aromas and flavours. The vineyards are around 25 years old and are situated in the regions predominantly stony, limestone soils.
Winemaking
Grapes are gently pressed, followed by a temperature controlled fermentation prior to ageing.
- High quality, well-priced and distinctive Cariñena wines, with intensity, yet purity and freshness.
- A family owned winery with a long heritage of winegrowing in the region, and some of the oldest plantings of Garnacha.
- Working vineyards in the most respectful way possible, in what is one of the oldest DO wine growing regions in Spain.
