Garcia Perez
The García Pérez family in Albacete, inland from the Valencia coast, run Parajes del Valle winery, but have 10 hectares for their personal project... Organic vineyards of Fuente del Piojo, located in the municipality of Casas-Ibáñez, are situated on the banks of the Cabriel River canyon, at an altitude of about 900 meters. These vineyards are chosen for the peculiarity of their soils, which are clay loam with a limestone layer, and for their vine ages, ranging from 25 to 60 years old. This special selection of vineyards, under a continental climate with large diurnal ranges, gives a very unique and personal wine. No chemicals are used in the vineyards, only minimal copper or sulphur if absolutely necessary. Harvest is always manual, typically in early September, to preserve acidity and keep alcohol levels in check. The result: elegant, pure wines that are very low-intervention, that reflect place and restraint.
