70% Tempranillo, 30% Petit Verdot. Organic and Biodynamic Farming. Vino de la Tierra de Castilla.
TASTING NOTES:
Cherry colour and a violet rim at first sight. The bouquet combines spices and coffee aromas. The palate is complex and harmonious, with velvet tannins and a long finish.
LOCATION, SOIL, CLIMATE:
In the province of Cuenca near central Spain, our vineyard is located in an area where wine culture has been around for decades. It sits in an altitude of 800 meters above sea level. The continental Mediterranean climate of this territory brings plenty of sunlight to the vineyard, and the clay soil retains water, essential for the health of the vines.
VINIFICATION AND SERVING:
This wine is made from organically grown grapes on our Estate. We harvest at night so our grapes are of optimal temperature before pressing. Alcoholic fermentation was carried out in stainless steel tanks under a controlled temperature between 25º C and 27º C. It has been aged for 6 months in American barrels and gently filtered to keep all natural aromas and characteristics. We recommend service at 18ºC. We suggest that you pair it with beef sirloin with pepper sauce or smoked ham.
DOMINIO DE PUNCTUM
Punctum Biodynamic Family Vineyards was founded in 2005 as a family venture by 3 siblings. Our wines are made from grapes grown in our own vineyards, 200 hectares located in the town of Las Pedroñeras, Cuenca. From the beginning, our main motivation has been to offer the highest quality products, made in a natural and environmentally friendly way. To achieve this, we work in close collaboration with nature, using organic and biodynamic farming techniques that respect the natural cycle of the plants and the ecosystem in general. This way, we obtain unique, high quality wines with an unforgettable flavour.
We sit in an altitude of 800 meters above sea level, which ensures intense aromas, freshness and deep colors for our wines. The soil, clay-based and rich in limestone, helps retaining water, essential for the health of the vines.
We reap the benefits of a continental-mediterranean climate, which brings plenty of sunlight hours to our vineyard and ripens the grapes easily. However, during the night the temperature drops and creates a sharp contrast that heightens the aromas and flavors of the wine.
