Huerta de Albalá

Huerta de Albalá – this is an Andalusian dream come true. In the middle of the gentle hills of the province of Cádiz, under the watchful eye of the Sierra de Grazalema, Vicente Taberner created a winery 20 years ago that lives just as the region itself does: passionately, stubbornly and deeply rooted.
On 75 hectares, 225,000 vines grow – including the rare Tintilla de Rota, an almost forgotten Andalusian rarity. In over 450 barrels of French and American oak, wines with real character mature: dark-fruited, complex and full of southern warmth.

Huerta de Albalá –
Unique wines from the heart of Andalusia
Huerta de Albalá is located in the gentle hills of the province of Cádiz, embedded between the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park and the Atlantic-influenced climate of southern Andalusia. Vicente Taberner founded the winery 20 years ago on an estate that was previously hardly perceived as a wine-growing region – and that was the starting point for something of his own.
On 75 hectares, 225,000 vines grow, including the Tintilla de Rota: an almost vanished Andalusian grape variety that Taberner has brought back with consistent work in the vineyard. The wines mature in over 450 barrels of French and American oak – for different lengths of time depending on the cuvée, always with the goal of preserving the dark fruit and the southern warmth of the region without over-shaping it.
What lands in the glasses is not a smoothed-out export wine, but an honest picture of this landscape: deep-fruited, with structure and a character that reminds one of blackberry, leather and dry herbs. Wines for the table, not for the display case – good with lamb, aged Manchego or an evening with tapas from the region.
