Pago de Los Balagueses is legally classified as D.O. Vino de Pago, a prestigious appellation granted to only seventeen of Spain’s most elite vineyard sites to date. The estate is situated within walking distance of the Solana de Las Pilillas, a historic site where ancient Iberians were crafting wine as early as the 5th century BC. Located in the rugged Parque Natural de las Hoces del Cabriel, our highelevation vineyards are surrounded by pristine forestland, featuring excellent soils of natural chalk and sandy loam, with limestone rocks in the main part, and sandy gravel on the lower levels caused by slope erosion. The Garnacha Tintorera grape along is one of the unique varieties that has a red pulp inside. Tasting notes: A dense garnet colour with notable stained legs and brilliance. On the nose intense aroma of red and black wild berries, subtle balsamics and toast with earthy black pepper and anis notes. The palate delivers sweet and juicy small black berries with licorice hints, fine silky tannins, lively acidy and warming integrated alcohol of medium weight body. Long fine, elegant and versatile with a range of dishes.
