Here, on
sunny south sloping rocky hills, we passionately grow Tempranillo,
Syrah, Merlot, Dolcetto, Malbec, Grenache, and other varietals
carefully matched to our unique microclimate.
The
estate fruit is hand picked when optimally ripe and gently fermented
and processed in a gravity flow winery to preserve quality. The crisp,
fresh varietal character of our white wine is a product of our vineyard
practices and minimal handling wine making philosophy. Application of
these same principals to red wine production, with additional prolonged
cellaring in small oak casks, further enhances flavor and stabilizes
the wines.
Consequently
our red wines are big and deeply-colored with intense aromas and
flavors that have ample structure and tannin for aging. The final
products are balanced wines with distinctive varietal character that
pair exceptionally well with an assortment of delicious foods.
Our
ultimate objective is to produce wines that are a statement of the
harmony between the grape variety and its terroir. We appreciate your
virtual visit to Abacela, but want to encourage you to tour our
vineyards and winery and taste our wines to fully appreciate our
passion. |
