Altos de la Finca 2017 owes its name to the location of the sandy soil plots from which the petit verdot and syrah grapes used to make it come. A privileged origin for the top wine from the Toledo winery of Grupo González Byass.

General Information
The highest point of Finca Constancia shelters the most unique plots of the Toledo-based winery, and precisely these are the cradle of Altos de la Finca 2017, their premium red wine.
The unmistakable personality of this coupage of petit verdot and syrah from Finca Constancia is derived from the combination of a peculiar variety of soils and exposures, the strictest manual selection of the grapes, and a precise aging of 18 months in new French oak barrels. Try it on its own or as an accompaniment to aged cheeses, red meats, and especially dark chocolate and mint desserts.
Tasting notes
Cherry red color.
Nose dominated by aromas of dark chocolate and arándanos, perfectly combined with notes of violets typical of syrah.
Smooth texture on the palate and long-lasting, enveloping tannins with hints of caramel.
The winery
The story of Finca Constancia begins in 2000, when González Byass acquired a 230-hectare estate located in the province of Toledo with the aim of establishing a winery in the style of a 'château,' with facilities and vineyards on the same property. Today, Finca Constancia boasts facilities equipped with the most modern technology, inaugurated in 2006 and surrounded by 200 hectares of vineyards planted in different stages, including 3 hectares of 40-year-old Garnacha vines discovered upon acquiring the estate.
An internationally oriented winery, present in more than 30 countries, which has received significant recognitions for its wines (over 90 points in Robert Parker's publication for its Finca Constancia and Altos de la Finca wines, and several Bacchus de Oro awards, as an example).
Finca Constancia dedicates an important chapter to research. Notable initiatives include the planting of an experimental garden to study the behavior of grape varieties in different soils and the experimentation with various cultivation and winemaking techniques. Its vineyards host a wide range of national and international grape varieties, harvested and vinified separately.
