Guided by José Ángel Martínez and acclaimed winemaker Raúl Pérez, cultivates Garnacha Tintorera with a focus on organic farming and minimal intervention, letting the vineyard’s character shine. Ternario 1 comes from a select block of mature vines, fermented partly with whole clusters and aged in concrete and used oak to preserve freshness and add subtle texture. The wine opens with vibrant aromas of red and dark berries, floral nuance and graphite like minerality, while on the palate it is lively and elegant, with bright acidity, polished tannins and a long, energetic finish. It is a wine that captures Almansa’s rugged landscape, Mediterranean warmth and mineral tension, offering a true sense of place and a compelling expression of Venta la Vega’s visionary approach.

The 2016 Ternario 1, a wine of a range of three produced with Garnacha Tintorera grapes, the most planted grape in the zone, but each from different soils. This comes from a 25-year-old trellised and ungrafted plot on clay and limestone soils with limestone mother rock. It fermented with some full clusters in stainless steel and concrete vats with a long maceration (one and a half months). The wine matured in a combination of concrete tanks (30%) and used barriques for ten months. This is the one with a younger and fresher profile and with more fruit character, a more serious version of the Adara Calcáreo, with very good drinkability and freshness. It's juicy and the tannins are quite polished, with the chalky texture of the limestone soils. 20,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2018. 90Pts - Luis Gutiérrez, The Wine Advocate
