CATHAR ROBLE
Used
The term “Cather”, originates in the Greek, Katharois, meaning “Pure.” This origin is in turn reflected in the purity and authenticity of our wine from the privileged area of Ribera del Duero, Gumiel de Mercado, an ancient winemaking area full of subterranean cellars cut out of rock.
LOCATION: Gumiel de Mercado, in the heart of Ribero del Duero, 20km north of Aranda.
DO:Ribera del Duero.
CLIMATE: The Ribera del Duero has moderate to low rainfall (450 mm per year), dry summers, with temperatures of up to 40oC, and long, harsh winters, with temperatures reaching as low as -18oC. There are also marked variations in temperature within each season. The climate may be said to be a mixture of continental and Mediterranean, with more than 2,400 hours of sunlight.
VINEYARDS: 25 years old vines from Finca de Revillalcepo.
VARIETIES: 100% Tempanillo
OAK: 6 months in french oak.
SOIL TYPE: Silty or clayey sand.
ELABORATION
The vines used for Cathar are planted at 829 m above sea level and are low yielding– about 2.5kgs per vine.
TASTING NOTE
On the nose there is a backdrop of cherry and plums with added spice and leather. On the palate it is a medium to full-bodied, silky smooth style.

Bodegas Arrocal
Bodegas Arrocal is located in Gumiel de Mercado, in the province of Burgos in a town with a long wine tradition. The project was born in 1999, with Rosa and Moisés, who inherited the family vineyards, in 2003 the new winery was built and its first wines were made.
In the winery, everything is worked by gravity, with the utmost respect for the grape, the real treasure of the project.
It is harvested in boxes, passed through a selection table, and fermented in steel at a controlled temperature. The macerations are medium and the soft pressing to respect the grapes as much as possible. The barrel room (about 600) is 80% French oak, and the minimum impact to the wine is sought.
