Tasting note:

Der «Zaranda» ist ein Wein mit reifen Früchten, einem konzentrierten Charakter und ausgeprägten Tanninen. Er ist leichter und fruchtiger als der typische «Tempranillo». Die Gärung erfolgte mit natürlichen Hefen und ohne Temperaturkontrolle in Stahltanks, danach hat er 12 Monate lang in alten Eichenfässern gereift.

Producers:

José and Pedro are childhood friends and producers who have dedicated themselves to sustainable viticulture under the name "Tierra Savia". On 10 hectares in the Sierra Norte de Sevilla, they grow a wide range of old and new varieties, paying particular attention to the quality of the soil. The soil between the vines remains covered with vegetation throughout the year. The vines are up to 150 years old and are only cultivated at all thanks to "Tierra Savia". In their wine cellar, José and Pedro produce over 30 small batches from the harvest every year. They use amphorae from the region, some of which are up to 400 years old. When we asked José why they do this, he simply said: "We are convinced that wine has a memory!" The two winegrowers are members of the "Tierra y Libertad" cooperative.
