BODEGAS PALENZUELA GARCÍA CREATE THIS PALENGA WINE FROM THEIR WINERY IN CORTES Y GRANEA, IN A NATURAL DEPRESSION KNOWN AS “LA HOYA DE GUADIX”, SOME 50 KILOMETRES FROM GRANADA

Granada, Spain, 2nd December 2019. – Bodegas Palenzuela’s four hectares of vineyards are situated at more than 1,000 metres above sea level, on clay soils.  From these plots, the winery produces 12,000 bottles of wine every year.

Due to the location’s altitude, the surrounding environment is subject to a continental climate with the influences of the Sierra Nevada, which give the wines of Palenzuela García their inimitable personality.
