The grapes for Volver are meticulously sorted at the winery and fermented with indigenous yeast in open top stainless steel fermenters. The wine is transferred to new and second vintage French oak barrels for malolactic and ageing.

14 months in new and second vintage French oak Burgundy and Bordelaise barrels.

Volver Single Vineyard, the finest wine produced in La Mancha, is the result of expressing the unique terroir of Finca Los Juncares, an old Tempranillo vineyard planted in some of the poorest soils in Spain. These soils are amongst the poorest that can be used for viticultural purposes. The only other plants that can grow in these conditions are traditional Spanish purple garlic, and the wild pine groves that grow amongst our vineyard. Jorge Ordóñez and his partner Rafael Cañizares knew they wanted to make a flagship wine from this unique vineyard when they discovered it.
