This Vineyard is in the La Mancha region which is 200 miles south of Madrid. It is this family run vineyard’s philosophy that they do not water the vines and will only use nature to grow the grape. Once the grapes are hand picked they are crushed immediately with the yeast and simply left to ferment.
