This nine-hectare site sits approximately 465 meters above sea level, with vines planted in 1950 on iron-rich clay beneath a stony surface. Low yields and careful grape selection help develop the intensity that defines Dalmau.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTempranillo leads the blend, supported by Cabernet Sauvignon and Graciano.
