Bodegas Bernabeleva
San Martín de Valdeiglesias Garnacha de Viña Bonita
Madrid, Spain
Located in Sierra de Gredos, west of Madrid, Bernabeleva is a driving force of the ”new” Spanish wine movement that is getting well-earned attention from the wine world. The Garnachas of Gredos pose with a unique expression, marked with plenty of freshness and ”minerality” due to the high altitude and the granite soils.
The Vina Bonita, Bernabelevas top wine, comes from 2.8 ha single vineyard with 80 year old vines. Fermented in Wood with long maceration, matured on French barriques for ”as long as necessary”. Only 900 bottled produced of the 2016 vintage.
The wine is an act of elegance, a true showstopper concentrated red berry fruit with red florals and a balsamic-herby almost orange like lift, followed by a pronounced earthy and stony minerality.
A fresh acidity and slight lip gripping tannins with a very fine, almost powdery texture, a tactile sensation and strong fatigues drives the mineral, red fruited palate which breach across the palate in a long and expansive finish.

Next to the Tortola, this did not have anything to say. And, I really tried to strike up a conversation.

Exceptional. Hugely drinkable with all the flavors and layers of a great Garnacha. AbV was expertly integrated. Huge value to boot.

Robe noire
Nez assez effacé cerise noire prune et mate presque un barolo sans la réglisse
Bouche frais et pourtant ample mais finale fraîche tannique mais sans lourdeur la sécheresse tannique compense la légère sucrosite

Pop and Pour in Zalto Burgundy, color light, nose berries, underwood, taste almost like Pinot Noir, but this is old Grenache from Spain, aftertaste creamy overwhelming delicious, I love this kind of winemaking🙏
