About the Wine

Pago de Vallegarcía is located in the heart of the Montes de Toledo, south of the city of Toledo and near the Cabañeros National Park. It is a modern winery with stunning architecture and 33 hectares of vines surrounded by spectacular Spanish countryside. El Pago is a Spanish term to define the unique interaction between climate, soil, and plants that leads to a very specific and original wine- is found within one of the largest and finest examples of Mediterranean forest in the world, in a unique natural landscape which retains flora and fauna of great ecological value and natural landscapes that remain intact.

Vallegarcía Syrah is an aromatic single variety wine, structured and tasty on the palate. The grapes come from a plot of 7 hectares, harvested at the time of their full maturity to obtain pleasant tannins that, after the wine passes through barrel and bottle, end in a fully rounded state. As it is 100 % Syrah, the wine has the typical characteristics of this variety. It is easily drinkable but delicate in its production given that in difficult years, its single variety character makes it very sensitive to any climatic changes.

Tasting Notes

Red wine. Dense, picota cherry red in color and red fruit aromas intertwined with toffees from aging in oak barrels, and dairy. It is fresh in the mouth, has a delicious structure and smooth tannins that provide an agreeable passage and a long-lasting, persistent taste.
