Campo Flores Tinto (750ml)

Campo Flores Tinto is a blend of 80% Tempranillo & 20% Syrah grapes by farmers in the Cuenca part of La Mancha, who cultivate their crop using ancient methods, tending old bush vines on sandy-chalk soils in a hot climate where no pesticides or fungicides are needed.  The area’s water scarcity means that the vines are widely spaced and less prone to disease. The Tempranillo is from old bush vines grown on meagre soil and is hand harvested. The Syrah is a more recent plantings and are harvested by machine, allowing for fruit to arrive at the winery in the cool of the morning.  Fruit is destemmed and crushed prior to primary fermentation at moderate temperatures to retain the correct balance of freshness and soft tannins.
