NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Atalaya La Atalaya Almansa is a deep and intense Tempranillo-based blend of Garnacha and Monastrell.On the nose, it displays ripe blackberry and raspberry aromas, along with some herbal and spice notes. On the palate, it is bold and full-bodied, with ripe and juicy fruit flavors, balanced acidity, and a lingering finish. Enjoy this robust red now or cellar it for a few years to enjoy its complexity.

The region is known for its high-quality wines, with a focus on reds made from Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Monastrell. Castilla-La Mancha has a long history of winemaking, with evidence of vineyards dating back to the Roman Empire. The region was an important center of viticulture during the Middle Ages, and it was here that the famous sweet wines of La Mancha were first produced.
