Viña Albali Gran Selección is made from tempranillo grape variety. Grapes are chosen from vineyards with a production of 4,000 Kilograms per hectare. The harvest is carried out by hand, which means that all the bunches of grapes arrive intact at the winery in excellent conditions.

Region Valdepeñas takes its name from the ancient city by the same name,  that lies on a sun-baked river valley dotted by small rocky formations (Val-de-peñas - Valley of Rocks). Located in the South of Castilla-La Mancha in central Spain. The area is almost entirely encircled by both La Mancha Denominación de Origen on the North border and Andalusia on its Southern limits. It experiences extreme weather conditions, with temperatures reaching up to over 40 ºC in the summer and dropping to as low as -10 ºC in the winter. The future of this Denominación de Origen lays with its red wines made from Tempranillo; a grape variety that enjoys the ability to age well as crianza, reserva and gran reserva.
Tasting Notes - Red ruby color with purple reflections; aromas of fruit with balsamic hits; flavors of sweet fruit, very pleasant and very well balanced.
Food Pairing - Lentils or peas soups, roasted meat and potatoes rice, chorizo, ham, strong cheeses, etc.
Alcohol Content - 13.5%
Technical Information - Grapes are macerated at cool temperatures to allow for the gentle extraction of sweet tannins and complex compounds, which encourages the production of a wine with an expressive character to compliment the red berry flavors typical of Tempranillo. Fermentation then takes places between 22 and 25 ºC.
Viña Albali Gran Selección is aged in American oak barrels for 2-3 months, which provides body and structure to the wine. Malolactic fermentation also take place to soften tannins.
About this wine - “Generous and juicy Tempranillo from Valdepenas at a crazy price; fresh and tangy with a long, lively finish; racy and bright, modern and long”.

About this wine - “A whole spectrum of candied and dried-fruit aromas here, although dried cherry dominates this remarkably lively 2011. Some real power on the palate, thanks to the great tannin structure and energetic acidity. Exciting, very long finish with plenty of complesity. Drink or hold and this has at least a decade ahead of it.   Viña Albali Gran Reserva Selección Privada 2011  – 93 points James Suckling

“A crisp, bright Tempranillo from Valdepenas that is fresh, clean and worthy of a by-the-glass program; smooth textured and brightly fruity with a tangy finish”. Viña Albali Gran Reserva Selección Privada 2011-  The Tasting Panel Magazine – September 2018.
