Details and technical informations about Winery Sierra's Castillo de Ura Reserva.
Discover the grape variety: Calitor blanc
Simple, light whites for drinking young with a pale golden colour, an airy palate with low acidity, and discreet aromas of white flowers, white-fleshed fruits and neutral notes. Productive and rustic, accessible easy-drinking profile. Almost extinct today, surviving in a few conservatory vineyards in Provence and Languedoc for its heritage value. White-berried mutation of Calitor noir, an ancient variety from south-eastern France and the Mediterranean rim.

The wine region of Arlanza
High-altitude DO in Old Castile (Burgos, Palencia), Arlanza Valley, vineyards at 750–1,000 m on clay-limestone soils, harsh continental climate providing natural freshness and acidity. Tempranillo (Tinta del País) is the signature red: structured and cool with black cherry, plum, leather, tobacco, herbs and pepper, firm tannins and altitude-preserved acidity. Garnacha rounds out the reds; floral Albillo in whites. Neighbour to Ribera del Duero.
The wine region of Castille-et-Léon
Cradle of great Castilian reds on high-altitude plateaus (450-1000 m) of the Duero. Tempranillo king (Tinto Fino, Tinta de Toro): powerful, structured reds with notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, leather and spices, firm tannins and length worthy of long ageing. Stars: Ribera del Duero (Vega Sicilia, Pingus), fleshy Toro, Bierzo (fresh mineral Mencía). Lively herbaceous Verdejo whites from Rueda, cut grass and citrus.
The word of the wine: Overmaturation
When the grapes reach maturity, the skin becomes permeable and progressively loses water, which causes a concentration phenomenon inside the berry. This is called over-ripening or passerillage.
