Bodegas Atalaya - Laya Almansa

Bodegas Atalaya - Laya AlmansaBodegas Atalaya, is a winery located in the border between the Spanish maritime Levant and the flat expanses of La Mancha. Here clusters of Garnacha Tintorera and Monastrell prosper as if by magic, since the old vines seem to thrive in limestone soils of low fertility while enduring little rainfall.
