Valle de Salinas 2006 Oak-aged Red
Valle de Salinas 2003/04 Crianza Red


Based in DO Yecla, a small Denomination situated north-east of the province of Murcia on a high plateau, Bodegas y Viñedos Valle de Salinas are a new and exciting project established in 2004 and situated 12 km south-east of the town of Yecla on the road to Pinoso.
Their vineyards are located in the northern foothills of the Sierra de Salinas, a range of mountains which separates Yecla from Alicante and is an area of outstanding natural beauty. At the present time, 19 hectares are planted with the low- yielding Monastrell, aged between 25 and 30 years, and about 5 hectares with Cabernet Sauvignon, and another 5 with Syrah. The vineyards, about 550 m above sea level, are north-facing and are of basically stony, sandy deep soils which enjoy good permeability. Climate is Continental with Mediterranean influences, cold, sunny winters and hot summers, and a low, scarce rainfall averaging 300 mm per annum. These factors are ideal for the cultivation of the Monastrell grape which is perfectly adapted to this low rainfall and hence produces yields of 1.5 kilos/vine and wines of great quality. No irrigation is permitted. Bodegas y Viñedos Valle de Salinas are committed to the making of superior quality wines. We are their UK agents.
