Tasting and Pairing

 

Sight: Cherry red with high intensity.

Nose: This combination of indigenous varieties gives us a complex wine on the nose, where first the red fruit compote appears to give way to balsamic notes reminiscent of Mediterranean undergrowth and truffle, combined with a toasted background and clear mineral notes.

Mouth: Two concepts on the palate: power and subtlety. The entry is powerful and broad, with a multitude of nuances, giving way to a long and elegant persistence.

Pairing: Rice, cheese, red meats and Mediterranean dishes.

The Winery

 

Bodegas Arráez is located in Font de la Figuera, in the province of Valencia. It was built on three old wineries of private winegrowers. Located in a privileged environment, the natural setting of Terres Dels Alforins, it has been reformed and adapted to new production and bottling techniques over time. It currently has modern production facilities, a bottling line equipped with the latest technology and an aging room for high quality wines.

Toni Arráez Calabuig, director since 2007, has been a revolution, bringing his personality and vision of modern wine, modern and modern, without losing the essence of the area in which they are produced, and the long tradition of the family.

Throughout its 67 years of history, this winery has been captained by three generations of Arráez who knew how to read the needs of the society to which they belonged. Toni’s grandfather, Antonio Arráez Garrigós, had the brilliant idea of building a winery in 1950. He began marketing his wines both in bulk and bottled thanks to the incorporation of new oenological, viticultural and commercial techniques.

In 1980 came the industrialization and internationalization of the company by the hand of Mr. Antonio Arráez Ibanco. From this stage we highlight the great growth in exports, reaching historic highs, as well as the exponential growth of the workforce.

The vineyards are located 90 kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea and at an altitude of 600-800 meters between 2 valleys whose orientation generates a Mediterranean-Continental microclimate that together with the poor soils form a perfect binomial for the cultivation of quality grapes.
