Discover the grape variety: Penouille

Light, simple fruity reds with a pale, lightly coloured ruby, soft tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, undemonstrative red fruit aromas. Rustic, discreet profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, testament to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West and studied among heritage varieties. Rare French black variety, once grown in the South-West.

The wine region of Almansa

Castilla-La Mancha DOP southeast of Albacete, high-altitude vineyards (700-1,000 m) on limestone, dry continental climate. Signature Garnacha Tintorera as ruling red (~60%, Alicante Bouschet, red pulp): dark and fruity with blackberry, candied cherry, plum, violet, garrigue, leather and spice, round tannins and meaty palate. Dense, fresh Monastrell thanks to altitude (blackberry, kirsch, garrigue). Supple Tempranillo, peppery Syrah.


The wine region of Castille

Cradle of great Castilian reds, high-altitude plateaus (450-1000 m) along the Duero. Tempranillo king (aka Tinta de Toro, Tinto Fino): powerful, concentrated, structured reds with notes of black cherry, plum, leather, tobacco and spice, firm tannins from altitude and cool nights. Stars: Ribera del Duero (Vega Sicilia, Pingus), fleshy Toro, Bierzo (floral, mineral Mencía). Lively, herbaceous Verdejo whites from Rueda.

The word of the wine: Cellar master

The cellar master is the technical manager of a winery (usually a professional oenologist), who presides over and oversees the wine-making process and its maturation. Unlike an oenologist in a wine laboratory, who intervenes on an ad hoc basis to assist the winemaker, the cellar master is part of the estate's technical team.
