“Vino de Pago” - A Spanish Grand Cru
"Great bouquet and palate with scents and flavours of brown spices and baked red berry fruits. Cinnamon and clove, dark plums and chocolate, blackberry and vanilla. There’s a seam of smoky wood, complexity from time in wood and a baseline of baked clay soil attributes. Dry, mealy chalky textures, core of fruit and spice layers deliver a wine with mouthfeel and intrigue."
- Cameron Douglas MS
Vinted from an interesting blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon, this is plush, luxurious wine that fills your mouth with dark berry flavours and ripe tannins. Time in French oak has imparted subtle spicy notes which are nicely balanced by fresh acidity. This is an excellent wine that will make Spanish red fans very happy campers.
Heritage and organic viticulture meet in harmony this unique Spanish red blend that’s 60% Tempranillo, 26% Garnacha, 12% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. This is just the second vintage and previous vintage accolades include Gold Medal International Wine and Spirits Awards 2021 and 91/00 Guia Penin.
To date only 20 wineries have been classified "Denomination de Pago." Pago Aylés was the 10th to achieve the classification in 2010 and is the first and only Pago in the Aragon region. This wine project of the Ramón Reula family began its journey in the 1980s and ended with the reunification of various properties that once belonged to the so-called Finca Aylés dating back to the Middle Ages and first mentioned by Alfonso I in 1120.
