The producer
Finca Sandoval
View all Finca Sandoval winesFinca Sandoval is a benchmark estate in Manchuela, a rising appellation in the high country of Castilla-La Mancha. Founded by the renowned wine writer Víctor de la Serna, it pioneered fine Syrah in this corner of Spain. The wines have become cult favourites for their depth and personality.
The vineyards lie at altitude on limestone soils, where cool nights preserve freshness in the ripe fruit. Syrah leads the reds, alongside the native Bobal and a little Grenache and Touriga Nacional. Farming is meticulous and yields are kept low.
The range spans the fresh Salia and Fundamentalista blends, the flagship Syrah-led Finca Sandoval, the old-vine La Rosa Bobal and the distinctive Aurora white. Each is made with precision and ambition. Together they show the potential of high-altitude Manchuela.
Structured, aromatic and deeply expressive, Finca Sandoval's wines reward attention. They combine Mediterranean warmth with real freshness and finesse. This is one of Spain's most exciting modern estates.
