Ten years making each of our vineyards independently has allowed us to identify those plots of land with the greatest personality. From this work comes our Pago de Las Salinas, a wine that is capable of honestly expressing the uniqueness of the terroir from which it comes. We make it from a single vineyard that is 120 years old and is located on the top of a hill at an altitude of 800 meters above sea level, on mostly clay soils with a limestone horizon that marks its profound personality. Cenit Pago Las Salinas is conceived to be a jewel of which we make an extremely limited number of bottles each year. A wine that puts the finishing touch to the story we want to tell.

Tasting Note

Our Pago de Las Salinas aims to reflect each year the typical character of one of our most unique vineyards. Only great wines are capable of expressing intensity and elegance with balance, and that is our challenge in this wine. Intensity and complexity with an infinite number of nuances, in the form of spicy, balsamic and mineral notes combined with a fine fruity liqueur.
