Alson Tempranillo DO La Mancha Hacienda Albae
Malted biscuit, red cherry and raspberry flavours combine to create a very drinkable wine. it is supple and light bodied. This wine was produced by the Carpintero family, grape growers turned winemakers, who farm seven different grape varieties matched to specific plots.

Alson Malbec Vino de la Tierra de Castilla Hacienda Albae
Floral aromas with dried rose petals and pot-pourri, mixed with a hint of calfskin, precede a light bodied wine. More fruit and red berry flavours come out in the mouth with a long finish. The late ripening Malbec grapes were picked in October, cooled and left to macerate. The wine was matured in French oak barrels for six months.
Alson Syrah DO La Mancha Hacienda Albae
Chocolate, cooked summer fruits, vanilla and a hint of soft leather gather in a bouquet with lots of appeal.

Syrah grapes were harvested at night, cooled and left to cold soak for 36 hours prior to fermentation. The wine spent six months in American oak barrels.
