About Alaya Tierra

Alaya Tierra is a red wine made by Bodegas Atalaya in Almansa, Albacete.

Bodegas Atalaya is a relatively new winery, which was established in 2007. Alaya Earth is a single varietal Garnacha Tintorera.

The grapes come from old vines planted at an altitude of about 1,000 meters above sea level. They are exposed to a continental climate with very low rainfall. Vineyards are very low yield, but offer a fruit of great quality, with a great concentration of colour and aromas.
 

Fermentation takes place in small stainless steel tanks. Alaya Tierra is aged for 15 months in in French oak barrels and a small proportion in American oak.

A powerful, dense Almansa wine with character. Able to show the essence of the earth.
