La Zorra (The Fox in Spanish) focuses on the cultivation of Rufete, a a native Spanish grape typified by red and spicy fruit, soft tannins, and rustic finesse. Its pairing, Aragonese, is an expression of Tempranillo adapted to the peculiar characteristics of the Sierra de Francia mountain range. Cooler and rainier than much of Spain's lowlands, the climate can be challenging. Rufete's berry clusters mimic those found in many hybrid grapes, with greater spacing between berries and thicker skin. These unique adaptations help them to resist the disease pressures posed by additional moisture.
About La Zorra
About La Zorra
The Maíllo family is from Mogarraz, within the lush Sierra de Francia in Salamanca, Castilla y León. Although the DO "Sierra de Salamanca" is young, wine was made there more than 2000 years ago. There are pre-Roman cave presses on the slopes of San Esteban. Traditionally, each home in Mogarraz had a winery with "lagareta" and chestnut vats, producing wine only for family consumption. The Mallo family continuess to make their wines in the rustic style of their ancestors, with a light hand and an eye for climatically-adapted varieties.
