La Forcallà de Antonia is produced using fruit from just one vineyard planted with the old grape variety known as Forcallà or Forcallat. Since 2011 the Bodega Rafael Cambra winery has been working to recover this variety which was once a common grape in south-east Spain but had almost disappeared. La Forcallà is a magnificent wine to discover the more intimate side to the Rafael Cambra winery, a wine which allows us to travel back in time and enjoy how wines used to taste. Through the wine’s name, La Forcallà de Antonia, Rafael pays homage to the owner of the vineyard, responsible for ensuring the survival of this fascinating grape variety.
