Red dry
An organic red wine from one of the very few estates granted Spain’s highest appellation status – Vino de Pago. Here, the designation is not a formality but a genuine expression of origin and place, combining Aragonese sunshine, high-altitude freshness, and precise, contemporary winemaking.
The aroma is clean, open, and layered. It begins with red and dark berries – cherries, raspberries, and blackberries – followed by Mediterranean herbs, a touch of pepper, and subtle notes of cocoa and earth. This is not a sweet or overripe profile, but one that feels naturally ripe, fresh, and finely defined.
On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, juicy, and well balanced. The tannins are soft, silky, and beautifully integrated, while the acidity is lively and supportive, giving the wine an easy, flowing drinkability without sacrificing character. Flavors center on red berry fruit, gentle spice, and a light mineral line that provides structure without weight. The finish is clean, dry, and elegant.
“Senda de Leñadores” is born in the Pago Aylés vineyards, surrounded by forests and rolling hills, where Cierzo winds and wide day–night temperature shifts help preserve natural balance and aromatic purity. The soils – a mix of clay, limestone, and stones – contribute structure and a clear sense of place.
The wine is produced organically, with hand-harvested fruit, fermentation using native yeasts, and careful aging designed to keep fruit and terroir at the forefront.
Serve at a temperature of 16-18 °C with lamb, veal, lighter game and poultry dishes seasoned with mushrooms or mature, hard cheeses.
Bodega Pago Aylés
Bodega Pago Aylés is located in northeastern Spain, near the city of Zaragoza, midway between Madrid and Barcelona. Ramón Reula's family wine project began in the 1980s. At that time, it became one of the largest private historical estates in Aragon (3,200 hectares). Aylés is more than just a winery and vineyard: it is a clearly defined territory where nature and wine have harmoniously coexisted for centuries. It is an impressive landscape of contrasts, encompassing the Huerva River, which carves spectacular ravines. This landscape is blessed with clay, limestone, and chalk soils, deep caves, and underground rivers, to which the vineyards bring a true symphony of life and color. Understanding the importance of environmental care, all vineyards are currently under ecological and sustainable farming, and the 2020 harvest received organic winemaking certification. In 2010, Aylés received the "Vino de Pago" classification, which is the highest quality designation for wine in Spain.
Wine Style
Bodega Pago Aylés wines are characterized by the distinct "terroir" reflection of the region, elegance, and complexity. The winery's philosophy is to combine respect for nature and traditions with modern technologies.
Prestigious Vineyards
Bodega Pago Aylés manages one large, contiguous vineyard, which is unique due to its geographical location and soil composition:
This contiguous vineyard is the pride of Bodega Pago Aylés and the main guarantee of their wines' quality.
Aging and Consumption Period
It is recommended to taste Bodega Pago Aylés wines within five years of their production date to enjoy their youthful freshness. However, red wines, which are aged in oak barrels for 12 to 24 months, and then for some time in bottles, can be kept longer under suitable conditions.
