| This DO is a ‘pago’,
meaning that the entire DO is
comprised of just one single-estate,
family-owned winery that creates
wine with its own unique
characteristics following strict
quality guidelines. There are only
six such wineries in Spain that have
earned their own DO status, and
Bodegas y Viñedos Sánchez Muliterno
is one of the select few. |

The Sanchez Muliterno family estate is located 1000 meters above sea level, with
poor soil and a unique terroir that allows them to grow tremendous quality
grapes that are surprising in this otherwise barren landscape. The altitude of
their vineyards provides sunny days and cool nights, and this diurnal
temperature variation allows the variety of grapes grown in their 98 hectares to
undergo a long, slow ripening period. Dr. Richard Smart consults with Juan
Sanchez-Muliterno on his vineyard plantings, and the bodega uses many
innovations in their techniques. Sanchez-Muliterno is a prestigious wine in
Spain and considered some of the best single-estate wines in the country. |
