Comments

Venta Morales is project between Jorge Ordóñez and Rafael Cañizares with the goal of producing the highest quality entry level wine possible from young leased vineyards planted near Casa de los Pinos that the partners control. Dry farmed and planted on trellis, the Tempranillo is vinified in stainless steel in order to retain the freshness and aromatic fruit of the local clones of Tempranillo.
