The experience of Cabernet Sauvignon: Pleasure, structure and sophistication<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why does this grape continue to conquer the glasses of wine lovers around the world?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The touch of the Cabriel Valley: When the terroir molds the variety<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mediterranean-continental climate and organic viticulture to achieve perfect maturation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Cabernet Sauvignon is famous in regions such as Bordeaux or Napa Valley, in the D.O. Manchuela<\/strong> finds an exceptional microclimate that gives it a truly unique personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cabriel Valley is characterized by its marked Mediterranean climate with continental influence. Here, warm, sunny summers ensure that grape skins mature slowly and completely, developing sweet, rounded tannins. But the real secret of our location lies in the altitude and the great thermal amplitude between day and night<\/strong> during the end of summer. Those cool nights allow the plant to rest, preserve a vibrant natural acidity and preserve the freshest and most expressive primary aromas of the fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To this privileged microclimate is added our commitment to cultivate in organic<\/strong>. Without the use of synthetic products and respecting the biodiversity of the environment, the vine sinks its roots in search of authentic nutrients. The result is a healthy fruit, balanced and full of vitality, able to faithfully reflect the soil and the landscape that surrounds it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
