NATURAL WINES BY BARRANCO OSCURO
Barranco Oscuro is the family estate of Manuel Valenzuela, now run together with his son Lorenzo, near the village of Cádiar in the Alpujarra, south of Granada. The vines sit on terraced slopes of slate and clay between roughly 1,280 and 1,368 metres, with the Sierra Nevada behind and the Mediterranean about 10 kilometres away. The family farms around 12 hectares.
Alongside Garnacha, Tempranillo and several French varieties, they champion Vijiriega, an old local white grape, which you can find on its own in V de Valenzuela. Fermentations run on native yeasts in an underground cellar, with very little intervention. Look out for 1368 Cerro Las Monjas, named after the height of its vineyard, and the Salmonido rosé, made from Pinot Noir.
