OLD MOUNTAIN
Our “Old Mountain” wine owes its special character to the Finca de Jacinto vineyard, 2.4ha of steep slopes oriented south and east, where gnarled octogenarian Moscatel vines grow on poor, stony soils developed from dark schist. It is a very old, low yielding and early ripening vineyard. So far we have done 23 harvests in Malaga, and this is only the third Old Mountain, following the “unknown” 97 and acclaimed 2005 vintage.
