Sinarcas, Spain

Marsilea is a family-owned winery with 60 hectares of vineyards around the small village of Sinarcas, on an 800m-high plateau inland from Valencia and close to the border with Castilla-La Mancha.

This altitude is essential for moderating the desert conditions and intense summer heat. Sebastian Mancebo makes terrific organic wines mostly from the native Bobal grape, previously maligned but very much on the up in recent years, as well as Verdejo, and both red and white wines are available in KeyKeg.
