Ruben and Elisa, the couple behind Malaparte, cultivates 5.5 ha of property vineyards located 3 km from the village of Cuellar. All the work in the vineyard is done according to organic ideology and practices. The area is characterized by a pine forest surrounding all the hectares planted with vines protected by natural vegetable cover and sitting on layers of limestone mixed with sand and clay. In the cellar, Ruben and Elisa produce wine according to different styles and techniques that can vary from the use of tanks, old barriques and centennial clay pots, a vessel historically common in many parts of Spain and not just something trendy to use. All the wines released contain very tiny quantities of added sulphites.

 

This wine is a blend, where fermentation and maceration was done in stainless stee for 12 days and carried out separately for both the Tempranillo and Syrah grapes. Aging was done in barrels for 10 months. The result is a youthful yet not simplistic blend with a maximum concentrated fruit and spiced nuances that coexists with the mineral hints provided by the Cuellar limestone soil. Very smooth and pleasantly solid glass of red.
