Cucos De Alberquilla

What is a cuoos?
A cucos is a rural construction, now in disuse, which was mainly used as a temporary shelter for farmers.
It was built with dry stone , that is, without any type of mortar or binding material between the stones and was built by the farmer himself.
The one shown in the image and which inspired the name of our wine, is the one found in La Alberquilla , a place in the municipality of Jumilla.
Preparation and aging
With a short period of time in a 300-litre barrel, we obtain a wine that breaks with the vegetal character of the Cabernet, revealing mature notes, a reflection of our semi-arid climate.
It has the balance and freshness that its short time in wood has given it.
