The Carril del Rey is a pure old-vine Garnacha from a single vineyard in San Martín de Valdeiglesias, a south-facing vineyard, perhaps the warmer of their single-vineyard. The Carril del Rey has beautiful notes of plums and blueberries, ripe with a slightly smoky touch mixed with rosemary and thyme with a Mediterranean profile. In the mouth we also taste light notes of anise and fennel. The wine is medium-bodied with very fine and abundant tannins, with and a pleasant rurality. This wine is great to drink, but with the beautiful tannins it will become more beautiful over time. The wine has received no fewer than 95 Penin points and 92+ Parker points.
Bernabeleva wineryUnder the leadership of Marc Isart and Raul Perez, this young winery Bernabeleva has been very close to the road with the small high altitude and already very old Grenache vineyard. It is definitely a beautifully situated vineyard of more than 85 years. The vineyard is located on deep sandy soils on granite and in a "cool" location at an altitude of 700/800 meters. The vineyard is processed ecologically and natural compost is used, supplied by our own herd. In conversion to biodynamic viticulture. 85 year old sticks (!).
