THE WINE:

35% percent Monastrell, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Tempranillo and 10% Syrah. Processed

separately then blended and aged six months in French oak, these four varieties come together to

shape a well structured, concentrated, and intensely aromatic blend. A velvety and round palate is

highlighted by red fruit and mineral notes with a long finish.

THE WINERY: Bodegas Carchelo was founded in the early 1980s in one of the earliest efforts to bring Jumilla into

the age of modern wine. Located at altitudes between 2,000 and 3,500 feet in the transition between

Spain's coastal plain and inland La Mancha, Jumilla's aridity combines to result in fresh nighttime

temperatures during the hot growing season. Chalky and clay soils offer ideal footing for the

red varieties. At under eight inches of rain per year, grape health is seldom a problem. 700 acres of

estate vineyards are planted to Monastrell (Mourvèdre, both ungrafted head-pruned and wire trained

vineyards), Syrah, Tempranillo, Cabernet and Merlot, and are located in a wide variety of

subregions, altitudes and exposures, reducing the risk of frequent hail damage in the area.Estate

vineyards are located in five distinct Jumilla subregions with varying exposures and soil profiles,

assuring a healthy diversity of fruit and vintage consistency.
