Red wine, Tempranillo, Dominio Mateos de la Higuera, Bodega Vega de Mara
Dominio Mateos de la Higuera – Vega Demara Tempranillo is a red wine made exclusively from Tempranillo grapes sourced from estate-owned vineyards planted since 1976, located on stony-calcareous soils, which bring structure, freshness and authenticity to the wine, as well as a smooth, creamy texture.
From August onward, each plot is carefully monitored throughout the ripening process, with the aim of harvesting the grapes at their optimum point. The harvest is carried out by hand, with an initial selection in the vineyard to guarantee the highest quality raw material.
Vinification includes an eight-day maceration and fermentation at low temperature, with frequent pump-overs that help extract the fruit’s full aromatic potential while preserving its freshness and varietal expression.
