Rafael Cambra Dos 2024 is dominated by the monastrell variety, complemented by the international grapes cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc, with a small addition of garnacha. This magnificent blend offers a more complex and balanced profile than its sibling Uno. A red wine from the D.O. Valencia that is vibrant, balanced, and full of purity thanks to a winemaking process based on minimal intervention.
Rafael Cambra Dos 2024 is born in Fontanars dels Alforins, a privileged enclave in the southwest of Valencia, at an altitude of 700 meters. The vineyards, aged between 30 and 60 years, are cultivated in sandy soils with mountain stones, under a continental climate with Mediterranean influence. The coupage consists of monastrell, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, and garnacha, grown under sustainable viticulture practices and minimal intervention, respecting the environment and the natural expression of the grape to the fullest.
The harvest is carried out manually from mid-September. Fermentation takes place with natural yeasts in open stainless steel tanks, with gentle pump-overs and piegage. Maceration lasts for two weeks at 25 ºC. Subsequently, the wine ages for 8 months in used French oak barrels (1 to 3 years old) and 6 months in a vat, aiming to preserve the fruit and the identity of the terroir.

Rafael Cambra is a winery that was established in 2001, in an old garage in Ontinyet. Later on, in 2008, it moved to the Valencian town of Fontanars dels Alforins, where the winery has 42 hectares of vineyards (12 owned and 30 leased).
The small producer who gives his name to the winery, Rafael Cambra, strongly advocates for minimal intervention both in the vineyard and during the winemaking processes, aiming to create pure and honest wines, with the grape as the main protagonist.
Their vineyards of monastrell, over half a century old, are cultivated on clay-limestone soils at more than 700 meters above sea level, in the heart of the Sierra de L´Ombria. They also work with foreign varieties such as cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc grapes.
In recent years, Rafael Cambra has been deeply committed to the recovery of indigenous varieties such as forcallat, arco, bonicaire, and rojal. With these, they are starting to produce new wines that are sure to draw attention.
The wines from this winery reflect the maturity brought by the sun of this land. They are warm wines, with an intense color, aromas of red fruits, yet fresh, thanks to the location and altitude.
