Hacienda El Espino

Hacienda El Espino is located in Almansa, in the southwest of Spain's Albacete province, 100 kilometers north of Alicante. Hacienda El Espino extends its 230-hectare vineyard, in the heart of this internationally renowned wine-growing region, over predominantly limestone soils at an average altitude of 750 meters.

The nearby"Montagne de Mugron" moderates the climate and provides ideal conditions for the flowering cycle of the Hacienda El Espino vines. This rich terroir, combined with appropriate vine-growing practices, are the fundamental ingredients needed to produce top-quality Almansa, and give the wines that are so characteristic of Hacienda El Espino. The vines in production are mainly Tempranillo, Grenache, Chardonnay, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Monastrelle, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Grenache Tintorera. Aging varies from a few months for young, fruity wines to over 12 months for the "Crianza" and "Reserva" cuvées.
