The winery played a trailblazing role in Castilla-La Mancha's modern wine evolution, becoming one of the first to introduce international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah alongside native grapes. This Allozo Tempranillo — made from the locally named Cencibel clone of Tempranillo — undergoes traditional maceration and fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with no oak aging, preserving bright primary fruit character. Despite having 3,800 oak barrels on site for their aged expressions, the winery deliberately releases this joven bottling unoaked to showcase Tempranillo's varietal purity in La Mancha's warm, arid terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose opens with ripe black fruit — blackberry and dark plum — layered over soft balsamic touches.
