This is a different red wine from Spain made from the exciting Graciano grape, showing the typical character of the variety. Bright ruby in colour in the glass, it displays intriguing aromas of small country flowers and ripe blueberries. Vibrant on the palate, medium-bodied and more Atlantic than Mediterranean in character. With remarkable freshness and a delicious touch of bitterness and fine tannic grip on the finish. An ideal red to have with fish like cod or tuna, as well as dishes with a spicy or slightly sweet edge.

The 'Oveja' series is a dynamic range of limited releases. Under these labels Bodegas Fontana bottle single fermentation tanks that are the result of their work and experiments in the vineyard. The varieties and quantities bottled vary from year to year, but they promise that all wines bottled under the Oveja labels are interesting and fun, showing the potential of their area and grape varieties. The sheep on the labels represent not only the region and heritage, but also as a symbol of this vineyard's honest approach to wine making.

Sourced from Bodegas Fontana's south-east facing site, where 10 year old vines are planted on clay loam soils. Here careful management with trellis, vine spacing and crop thinning together with drip feed irrigation are used to ensure the grape shows the typical characters of the variety.
