Piedras Coloradas 2023 is born from a mosaic of organic vineyards located between 900 and 1000 meters above sea level in the region of Higueruela, one of the most unique enclaves of the D.O. Almansa. Cultivated without irrigation on clay-limestone and sandy soils, it reflects the authenticity of garnacha tintorera in its most natural and environmentally respectful version.
The production of Piedras Coloradas 2023 has been carried out with great care and minimal intervention: the grapes are harvested manually in boxes, undergo a pre-fermentation cold maceration, and ferment in stainless steel tanks. The malolactic fermentation takes place in American oak barrels, where the wine rests for 3 months before being refined in concrete tanks.
The result is a versatile, fresh, and balanced wine, ideal to pair with anything from tapas to main courses. A wine that conveys the freshness and authenticity of Higueruela, crafted with absolute respect for the land, and already recognized by critics with awards such as the Gold Medal at VinEspaña 2025. It pairs wonderfully with dishes like pork tenderloin with a reduction of forest fruit juice or a good grilled beef loin.

On the palate, it is fresh and persistent.
The Tintoralba project (D.O. Almansa) was born in 2004 within the Santa Quiteria cooperative, in the small village of La Higueruela, located in the eastern part of the province of Albacete, at an altitude between 900 and 1100 meters. The soils are calcareous with low organic matter, sandy texture, and shallow depth. The climate is very harsh, dry, and continental, with very cold winters and very hot summers. These extreme soil and climate conditions for cultivation favor low yields and the fruit ripening process, resulting in a great concentration of color, tannins, and aromas.
Tintoralba is made up of 225 members, whose goal is to highlight the full potential of garnacha tintorera. In fact, the first single-varietal garnacha tintorera wines from the area were bottled by the hands of the winery's great winemaker, Pedro Sarrión.
Tintoralba has been working with organic vineyards for more than 15 years, and its wines are vegan. The wines from the winery made with garnacha tintorera – both young and aged – are very unique, intense, with pronounced fruitiness and a distinctive character. They fill the palate with notes of black pepper, black olive, dark chocolate, red fruits, licorice, and an herbaceous character that provides freshness and smoothness.
