Finca Casa Alarcon is located in Caudete, Albacete, Castilla la Mancha. Our 89-hectares vineyars grow at the foot of so-called Sierra del Cuchillo (which literally translates as Knife Mountain), on soils which are clay loam to sandy loam, stony in certain areas. Varieties include syrah, petit verdot, merlot, tempranillo, cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay, viognier and sauvignon blanc.

The climate is typical from the Mancha plateau, dry and harsh, but influenced by the coast (only 70 km away) and the altitude (650 metres above sea level). These physical and climatic features together with the vineyard and winemaking practices allow us to offer high quality, full-character Mediterranean wines.
