Las Valles
Cariñena | Spain
BODEGAS VIRGEN DEL ÁGUILA 'Virgin of the Eagle'
is the name of the Cooperative where Hand Picked Selections sources
this wine. It fits the vineyards, the highest in Cariñena. Heading
south from Zaragoza you ascend. There are no steep mountains, no
switchback roads, but you rise steadily over 30 miles from 600 feet
above sea level to almost 3000. This is Aragon, a large, poor,
historically important region of Spain known for its small
population of tough people. Hand Picked Selections is comfortable
working with cooperative wineries, so comfortable that Dan Kravitz
belongs to one.
