Orly Lumbreras, a radio sound engineer by training, established a small winery in avalmoral de la Sierra in 2013 after studying at the Escuela de la Vid in Madrid. Orly works from Navalmoral de la Sierra in the high altitude outer limits of the Alto Alberche winegrowing zone, a wild and untamed part of the Sierra de Gredos, a region with many near abandoned family vineyards, kept only out of love. He works by adopting these ancient vineyards, dry farmed and trained to bush vines to protect them from the wind. The vines cling to poor granite soils, nestled amongst unspoiled and rugged terroir on exposed mountain slopes, giving low yields and concentrated grapes. A traditional and minimal intervention approach is taken in the cellar, treading by foot, fermenting using native yeasts in open vats and old earthen jars, with minimal sulphites. These are austere, yet wild and perfumed wines, concentrated wines with exceptional vibrancy and freshness.
Orly Lumbreras Punto G 2018
14% abv
Vol- 75cl
80 year old Garnacha from south east facing vineyards at 1100 masl, fermented in open vats with 30% stems, seven months in four-year-old French oak
“Ripe red and black fruits with baked earth and saline minerality. Concentrated in flavour and punchy at 15% alcohol, but still with a sense of freshness and polish. Really granitic, with savoury tannins that are still quite firm, which says to me that this wine could do with a year or so more in bottle. Drink 2020-2026.” 90 Points, Darren Smith, Decanter October 2020.
