This family business is run by the third generation of vinegrowers in the region. 45% of their vines were planted 80 years ago, with the new winery and technology. A Tempranillo dominated blend from its highly rated single-regional range named “Juan de Alzate”, made from 60 to 80-yeard-old vines, fermented in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature, matured 36 months in oak casks, and 18 months in the bottle; showing a good combination of modern and traditional style.

這款丹魄既有新派紅酒的力量感和濃郁度，又展現傳統佳釀的細緻；各種香氣與口感均融合得恰到好處，和諧而均衡的品質。91分
The Jaun de Alzate Reserva has the concentration and power of the more modern wines and the finesse of the traditional ones. All elements seem to be in good balance, both in the nose and the palate. 91 points – Luis Gutierrez
