Mesta 2023 is a young red wine from Uclés that showcases the purest profile of tempranillo, sustainably cultivated at 750 meters above sea level, among centuries-old holm oaks. Bodegas Fontana, a leading winery in the Castilian D.O., decided not to age it in wood to preserve the unique expression of this noble high-altitude variety. Vibrant, fresh, and round.

Tasting notes
Mesta displays an intense ruby color.
Expressive nose with aromas of forest fruits and rosemary with a hint of licorice.
