Tintoralba
Description
Data of interest
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.
