Notes on the producer
Pago de Tharsys is a 12-hectare estate based at Requena, approximately 70 miles inland from Valencia on Spain's eastern coast. The vineyards are south facing and planted at 650 m elevation on sandy soil with excellent drainage. The continental climate means that summers are hot and dry and winters are cold with occasional rainfall.
