The vineyard is located in Villabuena del Puente, a small village 20km south from Toro. It is a blend of 95% Tinta de Toro (a local name for Tempranillo) with 5% of other white varieties divided over three plots in 'Paraje Los Pilones'. Winemaker Manuel Cantalapiedra likes to work in the most natural way possible, so wild yeasts ferment the grapes in neutral oak and no additional sulphur is used. Once the wine has been aged for 11 months, the liquid is bottled in its natural state without heavy filtration or fining. On the nose it is bright and light with bramble fruit and a touch of savoury spice. The palate has some weight to it whilst still remaining very approachable. This is a no-brainer for beef and other red-meat dishes, even those with spicy flavours.
