Terrific value organic red wine from Spain

The story of Bodegas Latué started back in 1954 at which time it was known as the San Isidro Cooperative. The winery is located in Villanueva de Alcardete in La Mancha, central Spain.The 130 grower members were determined to produce wines of true commercial worth. They demonstrated their commitment by focusing attention on the vineyards. Quality was to be the byword. Organics too became key. Between 1954 and 2007 the membership expanded significantly to 600 growers. Quality and market relevance increased to such an extent that exports rapidly became their prime source of income. In 2007 the name Bodegas Latué was created and added to the business profile. The 600 growers cultivate 6200 hectares of vines, a significant percentage being cultivated organically. Winemaking rests in the experienced, capable hands of Jorge Pradillo. La Mancha’s natural environment provides the perfect conditions for wine growing - a regular continental Mediterranean climate, with warm summers, cold winters and low rainfall. Soils are clay-limestone. Using modern winemaking technology Latué ensures that the quality organic grapes are transformed into the best possible finished wine - wine that reflects its precise origins, whilst offering an authentic expression of the grape varieties themselves.

Really good value Spanish red. Very fruity and very drinkable…

Delightful light wine
Got this as part of a mixed crate of low-sulphur wine (something I increasingly re-act to and has almost stopped me drinking red wine on a regular basis).
I’ve not been a fan of Spanish reds in the past, but this certainly changed my mind! Very smooth, light and fruity witha hint of richness.
