Embocadero Tempranillo (750ml)

In 1958, the community began producing wine from the village of La Aguilera.  The winemaking co-operative is named after Saint Peter Regalado, a Franciscan friar who was once abbot in the village’s monastery and later became head of the Spanish Franciscans.  This cooperative produced only bulk wine up until the 1990s, but then changed its entire direction with the arrival of winemaker Cesar Mate who elevated the viticultural pratices and improved winemaking practices at the co-operative.  Today it is a well respected co-op producing quality wines with a sense of place.  The combined efforts of making wine in a co-operative winery mean greater rewards for all than what each winemaker would achieve if working individually.  All of the grapes are sourced from small jointly owned vineyards around the village of La Aguilera and many of the vines are 100 years old.
