La Misión Joven

A True Expression of Spanish Terroir

La Misión Joven is a 100% Tempranillo red wine that captures the authentic spirit of Spain’s winemaking heritage. Made from vineyards aged between 15 and 35 years, it reflects the perfect balance between youthful vibrancy and mature depth. The grapes are carefully hand-harvested at their optimal ripeness, with meticulous selection both in the vineyard and at the winery.

A Meticulous Winemaking Process

The grapes undergo alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 25°C – 27°C for 10 days, preserving their freshness and fruit-driven character. This is followed by malolactic fermentation in stainless steel, refining the wine’s silky texture while maintaining its bright and lively personality. The absence of barrel aging ensures the purest expression of Tempranillo, allowing its natural fruit and floral notes to take center stage.
