This elegant red is sourced from a tiny, 1.3-hectare plot of 50-year-old bush vine Arcos; a lesser-known red grape that thrives in the vineyards of Valencia. It is a pure, detailed expression with flavours of cherry, Campari, sweet spice and a delightfully salty note on the finish. Complex and sure to be long-lived.
Rafael Cambra has spent most of his life in a vineyard. His family own one of the most prestigious nurseries in Spain, with clients like Vega Sicilia, Alvaro Palacios and many more. He established his own cellar in 2001 after finding a vineyard with 50-year-old Monastrell vines. He also planted some Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
The vineyards lie in the lowest part of the Sierra, inland from Valencia, with olive and almond trees surrounding them. Rafael believes in minimal intervention when it comes to wine-making, creating elegant yet restrained wines. He is an innovative wine-maker, constantly experimenting with different grapes and blends until completely satisfied with the result.
