About the wine
Tempranillo that can beat Rioja Joven any day of the week at half the price
Tomas Buendia, Angel-funded winemaker, says:
- "Many of my winemaking neighbors are forced to mass produce and make wines like they are a factory good. Thanks to Angels, I can farm sustainably in high altitude vineyards with no pesticides and minimal tractor treatments to make wine I am proud of."
- "This wine is produced from single parcels of our estate, in Uclés, the northernmost part of central Castile. Our high-altitude vineyards have sunny days and cool nights that allow us to achieve intense fruit and excellent varietal definition while retaining remarkable freshness."
- "Compare this wine to unoaked Tempranillo from famous regions like La Rioja and you will be impressed by the fullness and juiciness. Wine like this is a key element in the Mediterranean culture and will bring Angels closer to Spain."
