Simple, fruity reds to drink young, with a clear ruby robe, soft tannins and an airy palate on discreet red fruit (cherry, strawberry) and floral notes. Confidential southern heritage profile. Now virtually absent from commercial production, preserved in a few ampelographic collections for its patrimonial and historical interest. Rare French black variety, formerly grown in Languedoc and Provence.

The wine region of La Mancha

World's largest contiguous wine area (190,000 ha), south of Madrid. Accessible, sunny wines: Tempranillo (here Cencibel) in full quality rise, supple reds with notes of ripe cherry, plum and spices; spicy Syrah, firm Cabernet Sauvignon, round Merlot. Light neutral Airén whites (75% of the vineyard), fresh Macabeo (Viura). Dry, hot continental climate, limestone and clay soils.

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: Water stress

Lack of water. Water stress blocks the vegetative cycle of the vine, which uses all available resources to maintain the integrity of the plant, thus blocking the ripening process of the grapes.
