Valencia might not be the first place that comes to mind for delicate, fresh reds, but Rafael Cambra is out to change that. Sourced from ten-year-old Garnacha vines planted in sandy soils with a stony top layer, Soplo captures both the warmth of the Mediterranean sun and the freshness of its 700m altitude. While summer temperatures can hit 40°C, the elevation ensures balance, giving this wine its signature vibrancy.
Fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel, with 10% whole bunches for extra lift, Soplo is gently pumped over for around 12 days before spending four months in seasoned French oak, followed by time in concrete to preserve its purity. The result? Perfumed plum and raspberry aromas with a hint of earth and leather. Juicy wild berry flavours glide over smooth, chalky tannins, with a streak of minerality and a fresh, elegant finish. A bright, expressive take on Garnacha—perfect for chilling slightly in summer or sipping year-round.
