Castilla de La Mancha is Spain’s largest grape-growing region, covering more than 190.000 Ha planted with vines. The region stretches over 12 provinces and is flat with soft hills breaking up the landscape, 500-600 meters above sea level. The vineyards are planted on the high plains, known as the Spanish Mesta, where the climate is continental with freezing cold winters, very warm and dry summers with very little precipitation ensuring concentrated, ripe fruit.

Our winemaker David Tofterup searches throughout the year, tracking the progress of the new vintage, sampling the grapes and making his final selection based on the quality and characteristics he is looking to show in the Flor del Montgó Old Vines Tempranillo.

The Tempranillo vineyards are more 30 years old, head trained bush vines without any trellis, planted in poor soils that are made up of loose gravel, Miocene and limestone. As the vineyards do not have irrigation systems, this combination of soil creates natural pockets that serve as a type of water reserve for the vines, aiding them in their struggle to survive the intense heat of summer.
