Península Vinicultores was founded by two Masters of Wine: Andreas Kubach MW leads production, and Sam Harrop MW directs viticulture. Andreas, raised in Brazil and Spain by German parents, and Sam, a native New Zealander, bring a new-wave, international perspective to the Spanish wine landscape. They make high-elevation, old-vine wines from vineyards at risk of being abandoned in the Sierra de Gredos and other historic growing areas in the Sistema Central, the mountain chain that bisects the Iberian Peninsula. Inspired to let the terroir be the driving force behind the character of their wines, they focus on small, old-vine plots planted to indigenous varieties that have a long history with the land.*

A field blend of Garnacha, Rufete, and Piñuela fermented and aged in stainless steel and concrete tanks, the 2021 Península Vinicultores Vino de Montaña is light- to medium bodied, with aromas and flavors of ripe wild raspberries, strawberries, and cherries laced with crushed herbs and a touch of earthy minerality. Silky tannins and bright acidity make it endlessly drinkable and food friendly.

Press
90 points, Wine Enthusiast:
"Crushed red berries, citrus zest, and a surprising floral accent open the wine with energetic aromas, leading into savory and mineral accents in the mouth. Juicy and delicious while showing the enlivening character possible from a Garnacha blend."
