Tasting Notes
An elegant wine with body, yet maintaining the characteristic style of Bodegas Alconde:

History
Bodegas Alconde was established in 1956 by a group of winemakers from Lerín, who recognized the potential of their vineyards. Together, they created a winery dedicated to producing and marketing high-quality wines.
Through techniques handed down from generation to generation, Bodegas Alconde now cultivates 150 hectares of vineyards in Navarre, an area renowned for its exceptional grape-growing conditions.
Vineyard and Territory
- Age of Vineyards: Over 50 years, with some vines exceeding 100 years.
- Climate: Cold winters and warm summers, ideal for grape ripening.
- Soil: Poor and calcareous, resulting in low yields, with pebbles that retain moisture for deep-rooted vines.
The unique terroir and meticulous care result in soft, balanced wines, including Tempranillo, Garnacha, Graciano, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc.
