Production: La Garnacha de Mustiguillo is a wine of sustainable viticulture and of limited production from high altitude vines, as described by its creator, it can be considered as a true survivor, as it grew up surrounded of Bobal vines, a single-vineyard wine made with grapes from dry-farmed vines planted on the 80s on a very poor clay stone soil. It has fermented with 20% full clusters and native yeasts in oak vats and matured for 10 months in French oak barrels

Mustiguillo is a family owned winery founded in 1999, Toni Sarrión is the creator and responsible of Mustiguillo, set to restore the importance of the Bobal grape variety in making wines after being used mainly as a bulk wine grape, he has been working consistently and experimenting with the native Bobal producing high quality wines and also as a cuvee with other varieties. The bodega is set on an old country house, in el Terrerazo, in the Valencian highlands, a single estate-wine of 87 ha of vines and other crops, a gently sloped landscape north-south facing at an altitude of 800 meters above sea level with marked Mediterranean climate.

At Mustiguillo all the wines are produced from their own grapes, they apply sustainable wine growing and all the wines are organically farmed and duly EU certified ecological since 2007. The D.O.P. (PDO) El Terrerazo was granted in 2010, It describes all the practices that define the singularity of El Terrerazo recognizing it as Vino de Pago. As this, Mustiguillo is one of the Spanish wine producers associated to the GPE – Grandes Pagos de España, this association defends and promotes very high-quality single estate wine, wine that faithfully reflects the soils and climate where they come from, each showing a marked and unique personality drawn from a specific terroir.
