Hoopoes visit our land twice a year, a presence that has become a characteristic of our village. The hoopoe in fact contributes in the care of the vineyards, and it is a commonly said that when it arrives from Africa, it brings along good weather. For these reasons, we have decided to pay it tribute in “L’Alcalatén”, a wine that represents the essence of our land, as it does this beautiful bird.
Our village’s soils grow the grapes of the Tempranillo varietal, that are treated with care to obtain an intense wine, aged in American oak barrels during 6 months, achieving a wine with a deep and complex aroma of red ripe fruits, with a brilliant cherry colour.
L’Alcalatén’s label is classical and elegant, with our Hoopoe as our icon in the center, but giving importance to the contents of the bottle, a wine made to enjoy, taste and travel to Castellón’s landscapes, sea and Nature.
TASTING NOTES
Tempranillo
Beautiful and brilliant cherry colour. Intense on the nose with a touch of red ripe fruit and balsamic notes, with a tasty toasted background.
