La Fea Reserva
This 100% old vine Tempranillo has been aged in American oak barrels for 12 months from Carinena, a region and producer that is challenging Rioja and Ribera del Duero in making this style of wine.
La Fea was the nickname of “Isabel The Catholic” as she was known, the Queen of Castille (1474-1504) and of Aragon (1479-1504). Unfortunately, she wasn´t very pretty and she was not initially popular with the people. However, through her genuine care for her subjects she became renowned and much loved. Their marriage became the basis of the unification of Spain.
Like the Queen, “La Fea” is a range of wines that are powerful and with character!. “La Fea” is an honest wine, clear, that keeps inside a world of sensations to discover, the rootedness to land and the “good-work” of its people along the years.
By closely working with Panizo, Morgenrot have created to exceptional value Reserva and Gran Reserva wines. These wines reflect the huge potential to be unlocked in Cariena.

The Producer
Bodegas Paniza
Located in the town of Paniza, the Bodega was founded in 1953, one of 31 wineries in Cariñena – a region that was a pioneer of the Denomination of Origin categorisation. Cariñena is the oldest of these DOs in Aragón and the second oldest in Spain.
Paniza’s vineyards have parcels of 30 year old vines on calcareous clay soil and a small proportion over 40 years old on alluvial pebble, reserved for the top wines. The highest vineyards go up to an altitude of 850m and benefit from a continental climate: cold winters and hot summers with contrasting cool evenings.
