Bahia Principe is now the first resort in Jamaica to serve the Castillo de Damiel line of fine Spanish wines to its guests.

The wines were introduced by distributors Olive International Investments at a reception at the resort recently under the patronage of Carmen Rives, Charge d’Affaires of the Spanish Embassy in Jamaica

“Olive International is now the distributor to the Caribbean, Latin American and North American markets for the Spanish company Agrocampos and is distributing five wines to the Jamaican market – a rosé from syrah grapes, a white from airén grapes, a red from clavileño crianza grapes, and two reds from tempranillo and cabernet sauvignon grapes, one of which, La Reserva, is of an older vintage,” a news release from publicists Basil Smith and Associates said.

The Los Pozos de Daimiel cellar, where the wines are created, is situated in the Ciudad Real province in La Mancha, the region in which Spanish novelist Cervantes set his famous novel around the adventures of Don Quixote.

The relationship of that famous factitious character is reflected in the packaging of the wines. La Mancha is also one of the denominaciones de origen (designations of origin) of fine wine in Spain.

Daimiel wine is produced under the strict regulations and control of that organisation and each bottle of Los Pozos wine carries a label confirming conformity to those standards, the news release said.
