✨ Technical Specifications
Produced by Bodegas Santa Cruz de Alpera in DO Almansa, Albarroble Garnacha Tintorera highlights one of the world's few teinturier (red-fleshed) grape varieties. Vineyards sit at high altitudes above 800 meters in Albacete, where intense continental extremes, low rainfall, and stony limestone soils naturally yield low crops of concentrated fruit. Vinified in stainless steel and often given brief maturation to preserve primary fruit intensity, this wine showcases Garnacha Tintorera's signature deep ruby-purple hue, vivid acidity, and structural power.
🍾 About the Producer
Albarroble is a flagship wine label crafted by Bodegas Santa Cruz de Alpera, a cooperative founded in 1947 by 25 visionary vine growers in Alpera, situated within the D.O. Almansa in Albacete, Spain. Operating high-altitude vineyards located between 800 and 1,000 meters above sea level on limestone-rich soils, the winery harnesses an extreme continental climate to produce expressive, fruit-forward wines. The cooperative is celebrated for its mastery of old-vine, dry-farmed Garnacha Tintorera alongside plantings of Monastrell and indigenous varieties. The Albarroble range showcases deeply colored, structured red wines defined by concentrated dark berry aromas, smooth tannins, and vibrant regional character.
