Melea Tempranillo
Availability:12 In Stock
100% Tempranillo Certified Organic from Alicante, Spain
Fruit comes from organically certified, bush-trained, dry-farmed vines in the Cuenca area of La Mancha. The vineyards were planted in 1999 and are at an altitude of 660m with sandy-clay
soils, low in organic matter and high in chalk and limestone. This suppresses yields to just 3-4kg per plant, giving greater quality grapes and red wines with the structure to age well. The extreme continental climate means there is a high diurnal temperature
range conserving freshness and increasing aromatic intensity. The lack of rainfall reduces the risk of fungal diseases.
Winery The family winery is located in Alicante and is a leader in the production of high quality, organic wines. It is IFS certified
and produces wines with organic and vegan certification.
Winemaking Fermented with native yeasts, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation in tank. Vegan-friendly products were
used for clarification and fining.
