WINE DESCRIPTION

Finca Antigua Viura Sobre Lias, originating from the La Mancha region of Spain, stands as a testament to the dedication of its producer to crafting exceptional wines. Named after the venerable old vines that grace its vineyards, Finca Antigua Viura Sobre Lias is crafted solely from estate-grown Viura grapes cultivated at a lofty elevation of 2700 feet above sea level, sourced from the renowned "El Palomar" plot. The winemaking process involves fermentation at low temperatures with skin contact, preserving and enhancing the vibrant fruit and floral aromas characteristic of the Viura variety. Further depth and complexity are achieved through five months of aging sur lie, or "on lees," imparting a velvety texture and nuanced complexity to the wine. Finca Antigua Viura Sobre Lias epitomizes the elegance and terroir-driven expression of La Mancha's winemaking heritage, offering enthusiasts a captivating sensory journey through its refined palate and distinctive character.
