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: Grafting
A method used since the phylloxera crisis, consisting of fixing a graft of local origin on a rootstock resistant to phylloxera.
