A claret that seeks to revive the century-old winemaking tradition of Tierra del Vino de Zamora. We harvest all the white and red grapes together, crafting a wine that conveys the diversity of the old vineyards that is a hallmark of this winemaking region.

The Field Blend Collection is ...

  • 3 Wines
    120 Years

    The Field Blend collection comprises three wines — a red, a white, and a claret— that embody the style of the original Tierra del Vino de Zamora wines, which dates back to the planting of vineyards that are now up to 120 years old.

  • Wine coupage

    The Field Blend collection revives the historic practice of the DO Tierra del Vino de Zamora, where each vineyard was planted according to the owner’s preference, blending white and red grape varieties.
    The coupage was thus determined at the time of planting, creating unique wines that honour this authentic and original tradition. The coupage was thus determined at the time of planting, creating unique wines that honour this authentic and original tradition.

  • The vineyard decides

    Traditional winemaking in Tierra del Vino was straightforward and authentic, producing light, fresh wines without differentiating between reds, whites or clarets. Each grower blended varieties in accordance with their personal preferences and tastes, producing unique wines with varying proportions of white and red grapes, reflecting all the authenticity of the old vines.

  • The past, more relevant than ever

    Today, presenting a wine with these characteristics in Tierra del Vino de Zamora might seem a bold and unexpected venture. Yet essentially, all we are doing is casting a glance back at our origins, listening closely to what the old vines tell us. The Field Blend collection is proof that sometimes, the most groundbreaking approach is a return to tradition.

Ageing: 6 months in used French oak barrels.

Process: As in the past, harvest all the old-vine grapes – red and white – together. Still with their stems, the whole bunches are placed in a vat and are foot-trodden for five days until spontaneous fermentation begins. Once fermentation starts, the grapes are pressed and transferred to used barrels for alcoholic fermentation.
