ABOUT THIS WINE
Finca La Estacada was founded in 2001 by the Cantarero Rodríguez family, aiming to showcase the winemaking potential of the Uclés region in Castilla-La Mancha. The estate is situated on a former property of the descendants of the Marquis of Estacada. This 'Roble' (oak-aged) bottling represents a modern, fruit-forward expression of Tempranillo, sourced from estate vineyards grown at high altitudes of around 850 meters above sea level. The high elevation provides significant diurnal temperature shifts, helping the grapes retain freshness and balance in Spain's warm interior.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and undergo temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve primary fruit characteristics. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 6 months in American oak barrels, which imparts subtle sweet spice and structure without overpowering the vibrant Tempranillo fruit. It is then aged briefly in the bottle before release.
