Vineyard Milestones
Spain's First Syrah
In 1991, Carlos Falcó challenged tradition by producing Spain's first single-varietal Syrah. The adaptation of this grape to Toledo's limestone terroir resulted in a world-class wine, often compared to the great Syrahs of the Northern Rhône.
Philosophy and Potential
This wine is crafted under a philosophy of minimal intervention to highlight varietal purity. Thanks to its structure and acidity, it offers bottle aging potential of up to 15 years, gaining complexity and silkiness.
