Félix Solís Avantis is a leading producer owned by the third generation Solís brothers, who still combine tradition and modernization. Most of the fruit is harvested from the Castilla-La Mancha, one of the most important winegrowing regions in Spain, located in the heart of the country region in central Spain and a smaller proportion is sourced in nearby Valdepeñas. The region has a long winemaking tradition, dating back to Roman times, and its size and diversity of terroirs allow for the production of a variety of wines. The continental climate, with hot summers and cold winters as well as diverse soils, ranging from clay and limestone to sandy and slate-rich soils, also contribute to the success of its wide array of wine styles. Grapes are macerated at cool temperatures for 3-4 days to allow for the gentle extraction of sweet tannins and complex compounds, which encourages the production of a wine with an expressive character to compliment the red berry flavours typical of Merlot.
