Vineyard Milestones
Spain's first Syrah
In 1991, Carlos Falcó challenged tradition by producing the first monovarietal Syrah in Spain. The adaptation of this grape to the limestone terroir of Toledo 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 an aging potential in the bottle of up to 15 years, gaining complexity and silkiness.
