The DO Almansa is located in the far east of La Mancha, nestled in a transitional zone between the Meseta and the Mediterranean Sea. It borders the DO Alicante (Valencia) and the DOs Jumilla and Yecla (Murcia). The Monastrell and Garnacha grapes demonstrate their enormous potential in Almansa wine. The vineyards in the Almansa wine region are primarily situated on flat lands with carbon-rich soil in the fertile topsoil, providing ideal conditions for producing high-quality Almansa wines. It is an extreme area in terms of temperature. The Almansa wine region is 100 kilometers (62 miles) away from Benidorm as the crow flies, but little of the Mediterranean climate of the Costa Blanca remains. In summer, temperatures soar above 40 degrees Celsius, while winters are freezing cold for months. Rainfall is scarce, forcing the grapes to work hard and develop very deep roots, giving the wines from this region their unique character.

Bodegas Atalaya was founded in 2007 by the Gil Family. The prominent grape variety in Almansa is Garnacha Tintorera-Alicante Bouschet, along with Monastrell. This Laya is a blend of 75% Garnacha and 25% Monastrell, located on a vineyard at an altitude of 1,000 meters above sea level. This creates significant variations between day and night temperatures, not to mention the differences between summer and winter. After harvest, the wine ages for four months in French oak barrels before bottling.

The Garnacha and Monastrell grapes (Grenache and Mourvedre in French, respectively) give this wine its deep, intense color, and the Laya develops aromas of sultry black fruit, licorice, espresso, and pepper. Dense, savory, and rich, the Laya is friendly, fruity, yet robust, and perfect with rice, pasta (noodles, spaghetti, macaroni), vegetables, mushrooms, stew, sausage, and roast meats.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving De 2024 Gil Family Estates Atalaya Laya is een rijke en volle wijn met diepe smaken van zwart fruit, zoethout, espresso en een vleugje peper. Dankzij de mooie balans tussen fruitigheid en hartige tonen past deze wijn perfect bij stevige gerechten, vooral bij gerechten met rundvlees of comfort foods die een stevige smaak hebben. Een goede keuze is bijvoorbeeld een sappige biefstuk, stoofvlees of gegrilde worst, vooral wanneer deze bereid is met een kruidige marinade of langzaam gegaard, waardoor de wijn en het gerecht elkaar mooi aanvullen.

In the coastal region of Levante you will find that the challenging limestone soil and limited rainfall, allow for Garnacha Tintorera and Monastrellto thrive. The ancient vines have adapted to these tough conditions and flourish at an altitude of 700 metres. The low yielding vines produce concentrated berries bursting with varietal characteristics, full of rich flavours, and enticing aromas.

Employing innovative methods, winemakers have harnessed the freshness of fruits, resulting in a blend that is full of complexity. While the Garnacha Tintorera grape is the most prominent variety in the blends, the sweet and robust essence of the Monastrell grape remains notably present, adding a unique dimension to the wines.
