ABOUT THIS WINE
Dehesa La Granja is a red wine from the V.T. Castilla y León appellation in Spain, produced by Familia Fernández Rivera. The 2021 vintage is made from 100% Tempranillo grapes grown on the Dehesa la Granja estate in Zamora, at altitudes between 700 and 750 meters. The estate itself is a large farm, emphasizing a connection to the land. A distinctive feature of this wine is its maturation in a historic, 18th-century underground stone cellar, which provides a stable environment for aging. The Familia Fernández Rivera is known for its dedication to Tempranillo and a winemaking approach that prioritizes fruit expression, with oak aging adding layers of complexity.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Dehesa La Granja is produced using traditional methods with a focus on natural winemaking. The 100% Tempranillo grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging for 12 months in American oak barrels. A key aspect of the producer's philosophy is to avoid filtering or fining the wine before bottling, allowing it to retain its natural character. The grapes are sourced from organically grown vines.
