In 1870, Roque Martinez founded the Alceno winery. In the heart of Jumilla lie the beautiful, expansive vineyards where generations of high-quality wines have been vinified. Traditions are cherished and remain a part of the bodegas, but there is also room for experimentation, incorporating many new winemaking techniques. The winery was acquired in 2011 by the Bastida family, now in its fourth generation at the helm of Bodega Alceno.
The Garnache grapes are given the time to ripen optimally and develop their beautiful qualities. At peak ripeness, the grapes are carefully harvested and then undergo a rigorous selection process. After this selection, only the very best grapes remain for further vinification. The grapes are destemmed and carefully pressed. Alcoholic fermentation follows, followed by a few months of rest. The wine is then bottled in a stylish bottle. The temperature is constantly monitored throughout the entire vinification process. Oak is used for the aging process.
The rich red color of the Garnacha Tintorera Jumila immediately catches the eye. A radiant wine with aromas of cherry fruit on the nose. Warm and sultry, it seduces you from the first sip. A medium-bodied wine on the palate, full and juicy with warm notes. The finish is clean and delightfully fruity, making it a lovely accompaniment to tapas, poultry, or game dishes.
