La Doncella de las Viñas Tempranillo is the organic red wine of Familia Conesa from the exclusive DO Pago Guijoso in Castilla La Mancha. What is a DO Pago? This is no ordinary designation, but one of the highest and rarest classifications in Spain, based not on a region but on a single estate with complete control from vineyard to bottling. This exceptional status immediately gives this wine a different significance. At the same time, it carries a romantic story: according to legend, a young woman, the "doncella," wandered among the vines singing her love verses. That image lives on today on the label and gives the wine a personal and historical character.
The Pago Guijoso estate is located in Spain, in Castilla La Mancha , at approximately 1,000 meters above sea level . This altitude determines the style of the wine.
- Climate: Warm days ensure optimal ripening, cool nights preserve fresh acidity and aromatic tension.
- Soil: Poor, well-draining soils force the roots to work deeply, which promotes concentration in the fruit.
- Origin: Only grapes from this specific estate may bear the name DO Pago Guijoso.
So here you don't taste a blend of different origins, but a direct expression of one defined place.
The vinification focuses on a balance between fruit and structure, followed by targeted wood and bottle maturation.
- Wood aging: 6 months maturation in French oak barrels.
- Bottle Maturation: Further bottle maturation adds additional spicy nuances, such as the estate's description of spice notes.
- Style: The wood supports the fruit without dominating it, keeping the wine round and harmonious.
This combination gives the wine more depth than you would expect based on its price range.
