Mas Negre, garnacha tintorera

Description

Mas Negre is made by suitably combining technology and innovation with the tradition in the cultivation of agricultural holdings of three generations, using ecological and biodynamic methods to obtain the best wines.

The situation of the vineyards is in the municipality of Requena, Valencia. With cold winters, mild springs and autumns, hot and dry summers. The land has different textures, predominantly limestone, clay and gravel. In this way, the appropriate combination of climate and “terroir” that our location presents, favors the obtaining of wines with soft tannins. Mas Negre is a wine obtained by means of the autochthonous variety of Garnacha Tintorera grape, coming from old vines with low production and manual harvesting.

Mas Negre is a cuvée made by the Pastor Gilabert Family in collaboration with the oenologist and viticulturist R. Valiente, a pioneer in organic and biodynamic farming in Requena, Valencia.
