Colas Viticoltores
Colás Viticultores traces its roots back to 1860, when Roque Colás acquired the estate now known as El Pago de Las Covatillas. Five generations later, the family continues his legacy, farming 18 hectares organically and crafting a single wine that reflects the unique character of Alhama de Aragón.
In 2010, Carmelo Colás and his sons, César and Mario, established the winery to honour their ancestors’ methods while embracing modern techniques that respect nature. Situated at 800 metres, the vineyards benefit from fresh, dry winds and deep, varied soils of clay, limestone, and stone. Garnacha, Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and a small amount of Merlot thrive here, with vines up to 55 years old.
Their only wine, Roque Colás, is a tribute to their great-great-grandfather. The grapes are hand-harvested, fermented with wild yeasts, unfiltered, and gently fined. Each variety and soil type is vinified separately before blending, and the wine matures for 20 months in a mix of French and American oak. It is a pure expression of place and tradition, shaped by time and the land itself.
