Senora de las Alturas Garnacha
With Señora de las Alturas we continue our series of wines focused on the terroir. We are located in Fitero, the only Navarran village belonging to the Iberian mountains, just in the geological separation between the Sierra de Cameros and the Ebro valley. Señora de las Alturas is a wine from Pontigos plot, one of our two plots with pre-phylloxera grenache vines. The phylloxera devastated our area in 1898, two years later the vineyards began to register, this plot dates from the first year of registration, from 1900 but we know that it may be 20 or 25 years older.
