Península Vinicultores - Quinta de Quercus 2020
Castilla | red, dry |
Wine so bold and dark that even Primitivo can only envy. For lovers of the fullest-bodied wines.
Muscular and deep, yet smooth and velvety red wine made from Tempranillo aged for 12 months in oak barrels. It will captivate you with notes of ripe blackberries, rosemary, thyme, a gorgeous texture, and a long, spicy aftertaste. It comes from the finest locations of 30-year-old vineyards in Ocaña and Las Morras, surrounded by centuries-old oaks and olive trees. Thanks to its elevation of 800 meters, the wines from here, despite their richness, are always balanced and never too sweetish. After a few years in the bottle, now it’s in perfect condition for drinking. If you want something truly powerful, this wine is exactly for you!

A group from the Pyrenean Peninsula made up of growers, winemakers, and Masters of Wine, who all share a vision for authentic and sustainable winemaking in Spain. Most of their wines come from Castilla, which is in central Spain, but they’re sourced from vineyards situated at high altitudes on limestone and sandy clay soils, and they follow organic farming practices. What matters most to them is the character and purity of their wines, and they place a strong emphasis on the ecological aspect of their work.
Years ago, they were founding members of the “Wineries for Climate Protection” association, which aims to focus on renewable resources and reduce energy and water consumption, waste production, and CO2 emissions. One of the main faces of the Peninsula, Sam Harrop MW, co-authored the book “Authentic Wine” with wine expert Jamie Goode, which still serves as an introduction to the world of chemical-free wines for many organic and natural winemakers today.
