Hacienda Albae
Hacienda Albae produces wines from La Mancha, the vast central Spanish plateau known for its continental climate and deep, mineral-rich soils. The winery's portfolio centers on Cabernet Sauvignon, a variety that thrives in La Mancha's intense sunlight and temperature swings, developing structure and dark fruit character. The Selección Especial Cabernet Sauvignon and the 888—a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah—represent the winery's approach to the region's potential for serious red wines. Both have been rated by Decanter. A straightforward Cabernet Sauvignon rounds out the core range. La Mancha's scale and elevation create conditions where these varieties achieve ripeness while retaining acidity, a balance that defines modern Spanish wine from the region.
