Gil Family Estates and Rafa Nadal introduced El Tenista, the first wine from Dominio del Liftado, at a suggested retail price of $61.99 per 750 ml bottle, [PR Newswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/rafa-nadal-and-gil-family-estates-join-forces-to-create-el-tenista-302917283.html) said on October 22, 2026. The wine is an organic red made entirely from ungrafted Monastrell sourced from vineyards more than half a century old in Jumilla, Spain.

## El Tenista and the Dominio del Liftado Vineyards

El Tenista comes from the Término de Arriba area of Jumilla, at around 750 meters above sea level, where the vines grow in chalky soils with very few nutrients. Gil Family Estates and Rafa Nadal describe the project as one born of friendship and a shared belief in effort, perseverance and the value of day-to-day work, according to the announcement. The wine is the first release from Dominio del Liftado, a venture the two partners formed to revive old Monastrell vineyards in the region.

Gil Family Estates said the project reconnects with the land and turns nearly spent vineyards into the starting point for something new. The company said reviving old vineyards takes time and hard work, and that the wine is a tribute to the humble, hardworking people who turn the impossible into something extraordinary through daily effort.

Gil Family Estates owns or controls approximately 1,990 hectares (4,917 acres) of vineyards across eleven wineries in ten Spanish designations of origin. The wineries are run by brothers Miguel and Ángel Gil. The portfolio has well over five hundred 90+ scores from critics including Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, James Suckling, Wine Enthusiast, Wine & Spirits, Decanter and Guía Peñín. The company's wines are sold in over 40 countries and distributed in all 50 U.S. States.
