Los viñedos están situados en el Sudeste de la Región de Madrid, en la subzona de Arganda del Rey, la más extensa de las tres que forman la denominación de Origen Vinos de Madrid. Dicha subzona abarca 25 municipios con 6.400 hectáreas de viñedos, aproximadamente.

El clima es continental clásico, con temperaturas extremas en invierno y verano y lluvias escasas, concentradas en primavera y otoño. Los viñedos se asientan sobre suelo arcilloso con un notable componente calizo y PH ácido. El sol constante en verano facilita el cultivo de uvas ricas en azúcar con la acidez exacta para producir vinos de calidad. Las condiciones óptimas de suelo y clima y las variedades de uva cultivadas, permiten la elaboración de vinos con personalidad propia, caracterizados por su frescura y suavidad, sabor afrutado y atractivo aroma.

* Elaboración: viñedos propios de una edad de entre 25-30 años, densidad de 1.200 cepas por hectárea. Fermentación Alcohólica en depósitos de acero inoxidable de 50.000 Litros de capacidad durante 12 días a 25º-27ºC. Crianza durante 12 meses en barrica de roble americano y 12 meses en botella.

* Uva: 100% Tempranillo.

* Aspecto: color rojo rubí con tonalidades tejas.

* Aroma: potente y limpio en nariz.

* Gusto: su sabor es suave, ligero y bien equilibrado. Con buena acidez y final agradable.

* Temperatura de servicio: entre 16º y 18ºC.

* Graduación alcohólica: 14% Vol.

25 municipalities with approximately 6,400 hectares of vineyards.

The climate is classic continental, with extreme temperatures in winter and summer and little rainfall, concentrated in the spring and autumn. The vineyards sit on clay soil with significant
limestone content and an acidic PH. The constant summer sun easily ripens the sugar-rich grapes with the
exact acidity to produce quality wines.
The optimal conditions of soil and climate, and the varieties
of cultivated grapes, allow for the production of wines with personality. They are characterized by their freshness, softness, fruity flavor, and enticing aromas.

* Production: vineyards between 25 and 30 years old, density of 1,200 strains per hectare. Alcoholic fermentation in 50,000-liter stainless steel tanks for 12 days at 25 ° - 27 ° C. Aged for 12 months in American oak barrels and 12 months in bottle.

* Grape: 100% Tempranillo.

* Appearance: Ruby-red color with terracotta undertones.

* Aroma: powerful and clean on the nose.

* Taste: the flavor is soft, light, and well balanced. Good acidity and a pleasant finish.

* Serving temperature: between 16 ° and 18 ° C.

* Alcohol content: 14% by volume.

* Approximate price: 4.40 euros.

ESTADIO AL KHOR

Al Khor es una apacible localidad costera en el norte de Catar, a unos 40 kilómetros de Doha, la capital. El estadio Al Khor y su recinto rinden homenaje al pasado de Catar y, a la vez, acogen deseosos el prometedor futuro del país. La Fundación del cliente X -uno de los accionistas del cliente Y- será la promotora de las obras del estadio Al Khor y su recinto. En 2022, el estadio tendrá capacidad para 60.000 espectadores y cumplirá los requisitos que la FIFA exige para celebrar los partidos de la Copa Mundial de la FIFA™ en la ronda de semifinales.

Diseño

El estadio Al Khor encarna a la perfección el espíritu de Catar. Haciendo uso de los últimos avances tecnológicos e innovaciones más impresionantes, cuenta la historia de una nación que, en épocas de escasez y plenitud, siempre ha acogido a visitantes con hospitalidad y los ha tratado como si fueran de la familia, sin importarle las diferencias de procedencia, historia o cultura. A pesar de estar ubicados cerca de la costa de Catar, el estadio Al Khor y su recinto sumergirán a forofos del fútbol y visitantes en la cultura del desierto.

Translation - English
AL KHOR STADIUM

Al Khor is a peaceful coastal town in northern Qatar, about 40 kilometers from the capital, Doha. The Al Khor stadium and grounds honor Qatar's past, and at the same time, are eager to embrace the promising future of the country. Client X Foundation, one of the shareholders of Client Y, will be the project promoter of the Al Khor stadium and its campus. In 2022, the stadium will have a capacity of 60,000 spectators and will meet FIFA's requirements for semifinal matches in the FIFA™ World Cup.

Design

The Al Khor stadium perfectly embodies the spirit of Qatar. Making use of the latest technological advances and amazing innovations, it tells the story of a nation that whether in times of shortage or abundance, has always received visitors with hospitality. It has treated them like family, irrespective of their background, history, or culture. Despite being located near Qatar's coast, the Al Khor stadium and grounds will immerse football fans and visitors in desert culture.
