Aromas of black and red fruits and green pepper, full-bodied, with good tannins, structure and a long-balanced finish.
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.
Grapes are picked at their optimum ripeness level to obtain a well-balanced wine with just the right levels of sweetness and acidity. Then, the grapes undergo a cold maceration period for 2 or 3 days. Fermentation takes place at in stainless steel tanks for 15-17 days at 14-16°C. The process is then completed by a short ageing period on lees that result in an elegant, well-structured wine that is designed to be consumed young.
