Tebaida is the first wine we have made with grapes from our highest plots, with soils with large stones and a high presence of slate and quartz.
In El Bierzo, due to its mountainous topography, the plots where we plant our vines are divided into three zones based on their height: low areas, middle areas and high areas. The difference in height means that the climate, the environment and the composition of the soil are very different in each of these areas.
The high areas are what we call Tebaidas. There is more air circulation in them and fog rarely reaches them, which accumulates in the valley.
In the Tebaidas we find the poorest and most primitive soils, made up of large stones, quartz and slate. Over time, the rain and the air have dragged the clays to the middle and lower areas of the hillside.
In addition, in the Tebaidas the production of the vines is much lower, but of great quality. Tebaida is a wine that represents the freshness, minerality and great expression of the high areas of our mountain vineyards, in El Bierzo. It is a long, fresh and mineral wine, very pleasant to drink, with very good acidity and aging capacity.
It has aromas of black cherries, blueberries, lavender, Indian ink and graphite. On the palate it has a full body and round, juicy tannins with a bright finish. Delicious.

Production

It is a wine that comes from precision viticulture, organic vineyards and manual harvesting. Each new vintage we meticulously take care of the way we work the vines and the soil, respecting the biodiversity and natural balance of the environment as much as possible.
To make Tebaida we ferment the must in 500-litre wooden casks and then age it, for around 16 months, in French oak barrels of different sizes, 225, 400, 600 and 700 litres.
