highlandon

75 cl bottle

This wine can be called ice wine both for its production process and for the fact that the grapes remain in the vineyard until January, which is when they are finally harvested. The label on the bottle is striking, which makes a nod to the time of the harvest showing some snowy fields.

It is a broth with an intense amber color that has a lot of depth and personality in its aroma, while on your palate it invites you to try intense flavors, with a special emphasis on stone fruit. Other hints of honey characterize it, without being cloying for it. It pairs with sausages and strong cheeses, especially.

Information about Altolandon

Following the excellent oenological advice of Wine Connoisseur, Zoltan Nagy, who recommended this winery to us from the beginning. We certainly did not know where the DO Manchuela (Castilla la Mancha) is, and we did not know who Rosalía Molina was.

A Valencian woman from Requena who has her Altolandon winery in the town of Landete. A winery that is in height (1.100m) and that gives its wines that differentiating characteristic of the novel of the sea wines. Together with her husband they created a winery where what they wanted was to recover native grapes such as bobal and garnacha, and also add international grapes such as syrah, tempranillo, merlot, cabernet sauvignon and malbec.
Among the white wines, we find varieties of viognier, chardonnay, white garnacha, as well as the small grain muscat, which offer fresh wines with great acidity.

In addition, it is capable of creating a real ice wine (Dulce de Enero) that is harvested in the month of January at no less than eight degrees below zero !!! Which is comparable to what is made in Germany or Canada.
