Peña la Mora is a paraje just northeast of Villanueva de Ávila, where a weather-beaten, dome-shaped rise topped with granitic blocks marks its apex. El Tamboril lies near the peak of this paraje, while scattered vineyards totaling 1.17 hectares of Garnacha produce Peña la Mora 1er Cru. Climbing in elevation from Navatalgordo through Peña la Mora to the summit of El Tamboril is the perfect metaphor for these wines. They share a similar untrammeled, floral character, fine tannins, and mineral reticence akin to Nebbiolo, just deepened and refined as you climb upward. Peña la Mora 1er Cru stands comfortably between the monumental presence of El Tamboril and the more generous character of Navatalgordo.
