Juanvi Viticultor 'Rubielos de Mora' 2022

Juanvi is a small-scale, artisan winery established in 2008 in the town of Rubielos de Mora in the Sierra de Gúdar-Javalambre mountains at 1000m, surrounded by beautiful peaks and scenic vistas in every direction. The region has a strong continental climate, with a wide daily variation of temperatures from very cold at night to very hot during the day.

Juanvi Rubielos de Mora is made from the organically-farmed La Ermita de Los Mátires and La Loma vineyards near the village of Rubielos de Mora at 980m in the Teruel province, consisting of 4ha of garnacha and tempranillo, with the youngest vines planted in 2008 and the oldest being more than 90 years old. Soils are granitic, rocky, and shallow for garnacha (similar to Gredos) and calcareous clay soils for tempranillo. Harvest is typically in late October in this continental region.

Juanvi's Rubielos de Mora is a beautiful 70/30 blend of Garnacha and Tempranillo with a fresh, fruit-driven nose and palate. Cherries, pomegranate and cranberry flavors mix with notes of earth and espresso. This wine is full of juicy, ripe fruit that is wonderfully balanced by bright acidity and mild tannins. The finish is light and refreshing. Delicious and easy-drinking, this wine is extremely versatile on the dinner table.
