ALJIBES CABERNET FRANC
Grapes are handpicked and tripled selected, aged in French oak barrel for 16 months
This wine has an intense colour with aromas of ripe black fruit, floral notes and spices. It is structured and velvety in the mouth, with cherry overtones. This is extremely well balanced on the palate with soft tannins and a fruity lingering finish.

BODEGA LOS ALJIBES
This traditional La Mancha Bodega is surrounded by 178 hectares of vineyards which reach an altitude of almost a thousand metres. This altitude ensures that the wines being produced are highly expressive. Although the appearances of this Bodega are traditional, as are some practises, Los Aljibes also embrace modernity to ensure they lead the way in this region while still preserving its cultural identity.
Not only is the wine fantastic but Bodega Los Aljibes is a great place to visit with their enotourism offering. The bodega and the grounds are open to visit. There you will experience the stunning La Mancha landscape in all its glory. Surrounded buy kermes and holm oaks, red partridges, rabbits and farmland. In the centre of all of this landscape and the rolling vineyards is the welcoming country house of the bodega.
