Very good gear for the money, this is a nimble, juice laden tannin-free dandy from Almansa, south west of Valencia on the way to Jumilla. Organically farmed on limestone soils, some as high as 1200m.
Aldea is a bold yet beautifully balanced organic red from Almansa, southeastern Spain, where Garnacha Tintorera and Syrah thrive under the sun-soaked skies. Deeply coloured and full of character, this blend is all about ripe blackberries, juicy plums, and a touch of violet, with a whisper of smoky spice adding intrigue.
The Garnacha Tintorera (Alicante Bouschet) gives the wine its inky intensity and rich, dark fruit, while Syrah adds a savoury edge and a hint of peppery warmth. Silky tannins wrap around the concentrated fruit, leading to a smooth, velvety finish with just enough freshness to keep everything beautifully in balance. Made with minimal intervention, Aldea captures the raw energy of Almansa’s rugged vineyards—pure, expressive, and effortlessly drinkable.
