General Information
Rafael Cambra Dos 2023 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, cultivated 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 light 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 vats, aiming to preserve the fruit and the identity of the terroir.
Rafael Cambra is a family winery located in Fontanars dels Alforins, founded in 2001 by Rafa Cambra, a passionate winemaker and advocate of native varieties. His philosophy is based on respect for nature, minimal intervention, and the pursuit of honest wines that reflect the landscape and the essence of their land. Rafael Cambra Dos 2023 is a clear example of this vision: a wine that combines technique, sensitivity, and authenticity. Ideal to pair with mountain rice dishes, white meats, mushrooms, and Mediterranean cuisine.
