Quinta del 67 Red wine

Quinta del 67 is a new project by Rafael Cañizares, who wants to pay tribute to his generation.

THE VINEYARD: The Garnacha tintorera vineyards for Quinta del 67 are located around Alpera, certified by the DO Almansa. Planted between 1970 and 1980 in goblet and without irrigation, with yields of 2 to 3 kg per vine.

The soils are sandy, poor and interspersed with pure limestone rocks. The combination of the soil profile and the altitude in a range between 850m-900m above sea level, give this region a unique terroir. A severe, arid, and continental climate, with cold winters receiving snow. During the summer, the temperature fluctuates drastically between day and night due to the altitude. The harvest is carried out by hand at the beginning of October.

WINEMAKING: The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in barrels and is aged in new French oak barrels for 14 months. The Quinta del 67 is bottled on the estate itself unfiltered.

Deep red. Complex on the nose with aromas of ripe black fruits, spices, and some balsamic aromas. On the palate with a lot of structure, silky tannins, and again a lot of fruit, chocolate, liquorice. Long and persistent finish. Very powerful and with a long life ahead of it.
