This fresh and soft but still juicy and fruity wine is a welcome respite from the omnipresent overripe, over-extracted, sweet, and highly alcoholic La Mancha Tempranillo that’s become the standard these days. Its luminous Bing cherry color telegraphs the same fruit that dominates the clean and radiant nose, with forest fruit and tropical floral aromas lending additional complexity. Despite its gulpable body and texture, there’s solid structure here and a very long finish. Serve cellar temperature or even chilled a bit with pizza, burgers, or any everyday meal.

Founded in 1954, the founding spirit of Bodegas Latúe is still alive.

Entrepreneurship, ecology, sustainability, social responsibility, quality and innovation define the personality of Bodegas Latúe, in an environment where equal opportunities and social roots are always present.

Located in central Spain and at a maximum distance of 10 kilometres from the winery, the vineyards of Bodegas Latúe create a genuine and characteristic landscape typical of La Mancha.

With an average altitude of  725 metres above sea level , protected by the banks of the Gigüela River and influenced by an extreme continental Mediterranean climate with warm summers and cold winters, there is a natural enclave of 4,300 hectares of vineyards, owned by Bodegas Latúe, one of the largest organic wineries in Europe.

Since its founding in 1954 as the San Isidro Cooperative, the legacy of the 131 founding families of Alcardete is still present, consolidating Bodegas Latúe as the economic and social driving force of the municipality. All of this thanks to the effort, commitment and dedication of generation after generation.
