Las Viñas Bastardas

 

CLIMATIC CONDITIONS

In the highlands of Murcia Region, we grow extraordinary and very old native grapes, that along the years, have been evoluting and being passed from generation to generation, as a heritage. The unique terroir of the area, with poor lime and clay soils, united to a extreme weather conditions and
dry agriculture have always provide low productions and high concentration in the fruit.
When the “denomination of origen” certification arrived, delimiting geographically those plots that were in and those that were off, following municipal frontiers and leaving many of those amazing vineyards with no calification, no origin, sometimes for a few kilómetros, sometimes for meters. Casa Rojo selected and harvested those vineyards close to our winery, at the limit of the DO, making this wine that we would like to introduce you.

TASTING NOTES

It presents a thinly layered but bright ruby colour. On the nose, it is aromatic, with ripe red fruit and balsamic notes that are reminiscent of its Mediterranean forest origins, and a light spiced black pepper scent. In the mouth, it shows itself as a more matured wine, with jammy fruit and spiced tones predominating. A fresh and generous palate, with a slightly sweet and
toasty finish due to its aging in barrels.
