Volver Single Vineyard

100% Tempranillo

D.O. La Mancha

HARVEST: Vintage rated as excellent, given the high quality of the grapes harvested. The rainfall data for the area is 242 mm on average annually, so it was a very dry vintage. During the months of grape ripening, there has been an average temperature variation of around 18º-20º between day and night. On the other hand, during the harvest there have been average temperatures and an absence of precipitation, thus facilitating the harvesting of the fruit in its optimal state of maturity and quality.

VINEYARD: The best Tempranillo variety grapes are selected at “Finca Los Juncares”. Unique vineyard of 29 hectares cultivated in 1957. Located at an altitude of 660 meters, on very poor and extremely sandy soils (up to one meter deep) composed of small pieces of pure limestone. On the surface the sand is mixed with red clay, up to about 30 centimeters deep. The yields are very low, 1-2 kilos per plant.

WINEMAKING: The grapes for Volver are meticulously sorted at the winery and fermented with in-
digenous yeast in open top stainless steel fermenters. The wine is transferred to new and second vintage French oak barrels for malolactic and aging.

TASTING NOTES: Intense purple color. Aromas of tobacco, liquorice and blackcurrants. Full-bodied
with hints of toast and mature fruit. Long balanced finish.

DENOMINATION OF ORIGIN

La Mancha is an ideal area for growing grapes because the yield per hectare is not very high and of premium quality. In addition, the health of their vines is extraordinary due to the long hours of sunshine they receive and their great ripening cycle.

The Denomination of Origin La Mancha works through the Regulatory Council to safeguard the cultivation of the vine within the area of production that comprises a total of 182 towns belonging to the four provinces of Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca and Toledo. One of its main tasks is to ensure its traceability by guaranteeing the quality of its wines and working to promote them. A promotion made, not only at a regional and national level, but the quality of our wines is gaining international recognition, with increasing interest year after year. This is corroborated by the export data that keeps its progression ‘in crescendo’, thanks to the optimal conditions of vine cultivation and the great work in preparation and marketing by the wineries and cooperatives.
