The Alberto Calleja Montehigueras 2023 is an emblematic wine from Alberto Calleja, a Manchego producer known for revitalizing historical Cencibel vineyards in Castilla-La Mancha. Located in the Montehigueras area, this wine reflects a respectful and minimal-intervention viticulture approach. The vineyards, over 30 years old, grow on sandy marl and clay soils, providing freshness and a marked identity. The winemaking process combines tradition and precision, with semi-carbonic maceration at low temperatures, followed by aging in clay jars and used French barrels. The prominent aromas include cherry, raspberry, and fresh blackberry, accompanied by floral notes and soft spices. On the palate, it is fresh and flavorful, with fine tannins and a smooth texture. Montehigueras 2023 represents the viticultural authenticity of Castilla: a gastronomic red wine that reflects the work of recovering traditional vineyards.
