Introducing the Mesta label from Peninsula Vinicultores - a collection of vibrant, expressive wines that are a pure reflection of culture, climate, and care. Shaped by the sun soaked days and cool nights of Ucles in north-central Castile and made exclusively from noble Spanish varieties from high-altitude, organic vineyards. The wines are defined by their freshness, elegance, and a steadfast commitment to sustainable viticulture that nurtures biodiversity and safeguards the land for future generations.
Rooted in Mediterranean culture and cuisine, The name “Mesta” honours a powerful medieval alliance of shepherds who governed the cañadas; historic migratory routes for sheep that remain protected to this day. In this timeless landscape, Mesta's vineyards flourish alongside ancient paths, still traversed by flocks each year. This longstanding harmony serves as a powerful symbol of enduring traditions and the natural balance between agriculture and the wild.
A juicy, unoaked red that showcases the purity and character of high-altitude Tempranillo. Bright ruby in colour, it offers expressive, well-defined aromas of red berries, rosemary, and a hint of liquorice. The palate is fresh and persistent, with a round texture and a clean, satisfyingly dry finish. Medium-bodied and highly versatile, this is an ideal food wine - perfect with tapas, grilled meats, pasta dishes and much, much more!
