Producer Information

Felis Solix Avantis – La Mancha: The original winery, built in 1966, was originally called Bodega del Nieto. But it was not until 1986 that the three children of the founder, Mr Nieto, gave it the boost it needed to become a successful business. The winery was bought by Felix Solis in 2002 in response to the increasing winegrowing potential of the region. Under several years of major investment in improvement of the facilities, the first wines were launched in the market in 2012.

The Solís family work in partnership with 500 family-owned vine growers covering an area of 4,000 hectares. Vines are traditionally grown as bush vines and spaced quite widely apart. However trellised vineyards and irrigation are now allowed under the D.O. rules, a particularly significant development for La Mancha. Along with the traditional Spanish varietals they have succeeded in producing excellent wines from international varietals with a Spanish twist.

Wine Making

Grapes are harvested at night in late September and early October. This cooler temperature allows the grapes to retain their wonderful aromatic characters. After crushing, the must is left for maceration for 6 to 8 hours in cool temperatures to get the maximum expression of aromas. The fermentation of each variety is carried out at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks at 14-16 ºC in order to achieve maximum expression of flavourings. The result is a fresh and delicate wine.

Tasting Note

Aromas of ripe peach and tropical fruits, with a light, fresh and well-balanced palate.
