Altovino Manchuela Amber Wine 2022 (1L)

In 1998, Rosalie Molina and her husband Manolo Garrote had a vision to revitalize winemaking in their home region of La Mancha.  They envisioned a return to the basics of organic grape growing and natural winemaking and the simplicity of their ancestors.  Purchasing a small estate in the sub-denomination of Manchuela, they soon grew their holdings by purchasing plots of old vine Grenache and Bobal surrounding the winery.  Today they've come from 6 hectares to 60 hectares of vines all of which they farm organically.  A family estate, Manolo manages the vines while Rosalie works in the cellar.

Located at nearly 1,100 meters above sea level, the estate's altitude makes it unique.  Along with its dry climate, this makes organic viticulture quite easy.  Cooler temperatures and nearly constant winds keep disease and pest pressure low while arid conditions limit vegetation. 

Grapes: Sauvignon Blanc, Grenache Blanc, and Viognier
