Winemaker Notes
The vineyards of Garnacha tintorera for Quinta del 67, are located around Alpera, certificated by the DO Almansa. Planted between 1970 and 1980 in vaso system and with no irrigation, giving a yield from 2 to 3kg per vine. Soils are sandy, poor and intermixed with rocks of pure lime. The combination of the soil profile and the altitude in a range between 850m-900m above sea level, give this region a very unique terroir. A severe weather, arid and continental climate, with cold winters that receive snow. During the summer, the temperature fluctuates drastically between day and night due to the altitude. Vines are hand-harvested at the beginning of October.
