Region
The high altitude, great plain of La Mancha, to the south of Madrid and east of Toledo, represents the largest viticultural area of Spain. The climate is arid, extreme in both summer and winter, tempered by strong prevailing winds. The widely planted white Arien grape variety is slowly losing favour to Tempranillo, Shiraz and Garnacha and the old wineries are giving way to gleaming modern facilities heralding a revolution for the region`s winemaking.
Producer
Dominio de Punctum is situated in the town of Las Pedroneras at the north end of La Mancha. It was founded in 2005 and run by the Fernandez family, the estate currently includes over 150 hectares of vineyards. The winery is located adjacent to the vineyards allowing to keep the maximum quality in the production of the whites, reds, young and aged wines. Since the beginning they have focused on organic and biodynamic production.
Tasting Notes
A 50/50 blend of Graciano and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is a beautiful deep ruby red in colour. The nose is intense with aromas of red fruits with undertones of eucalyptus. Well structured and round in the mouth with soft tannins and flavours of ripe fruits, vanilla and spice this wine is harmonious on the palate with a long, rich finish.
Food
Ideal with roasts, especially game such as pheasant, partridge or pigeon.
