“No, the subject line is not a typo!The 2015 Bodegas Atalaya Almansa Laya is one of those wines that is super easy on the wallet (under $6) and delights both inside the bottle (92 points) and out (looks elegant)! This year, we have this wine foronly $5.99, our lowest price ever! This is a must have 'everyday wine' for any household; one to buy by the case. The bottle looks so elegant and the wine inside tastes like a much more expensive wine. Well crafted, unbeatable price.” - Jim Knight, Wine House

ABOUT THE WINERY
Atalaya winery is a project of Gil Family Estates with the participation of the López Family, from Pilar de la Horada, in the PDO Almansa, placed in the east of Albacete region, between Alicante and Murcia, in the transit zone between the central Spanish plateau and the Mediterranean Sea. The vintage age of 2007 was the first one of the Atalaya Winery and, since that moment, they have been improving the facilities of the winery and researching about the Garnacha Tintorera and Monastrell grape varieties, to shape the current range of wines reflecting the character and personality of the land in which the most emblematic varieties of the place are grown. In that sense, Atalaya Winery keeps the importance that the group Gil Family Estates wants to reflect in their range of wine varieties, and shows the most genuine essence of its vineyards.
Not only the facilities of the winery, but also part of its vineyards are located 3km north of Almansa, in mainly calcareous soils and an altitude of 700 meters above the sea level. The principal vineyard of the property is distributed in different parcels made, in its vast majority, of old vineyards of Tintorera and Monastrell varieties, placed between 700 and 1000 meters of altitude. The area has Continental Climate and soils of low fertility, with rainfall below 350 mm per year, and are suitable for low yields, therefore, a high quality of fruit and a great concentration of color and flavor in the wines. Frank Gonzales, Australian enologist of Spanish origin, is in charge of the Technical Direction.
