Bernabeleva is a pioneer of high-altitude Garnacha in the Gredos-Madrid area, established by Juan Bulnes and guided in early years by Raúl Pérez. The estate is devoted to biodynamic and low-intervention farming, working old vines with sensitivity to bring out a refined expression of granite-inflected Garnacha character.
- WINEMAKER: Miguel Chimeno (successor to Marc Isart)
- FARMING: All vineyard work is carried out by hand under biodynamic and organic principles. Soil and vine health are prioritized, with minimal external inputs to preserve vineyard integrity.
- VARIETY: Predominantly Garnacha (Grenache), with a small inclusion of Carinena (Cariñena) and other native grapes.
- TERROIR: The vineyards are planted between 600 and 830 meters elevation in the San Martín de Valdeiglesias zone, on deeply decomposed granite soils characteristic of the Sierra de Gredos. The high diurnal shift and mineral substrate help amplify freshness and aromatic lift.
- VINIFICATION: Grapes are harvested by plot, then undergo a 25-day maceration including a portion of whole clusters. Fermentations are carried out in a mix of stainless steel, concrete, and large wooden vats using native yeasts, with minimal extraction techniques to emphasize elegance.
- AGING: The wine is matured for about 10 months in a combination of large wood and stainless/concrete vessels. No new oak is used; the emphasis is on preserving purity and minerality, and the wine is bottled without filtration or stabilization.
- TASTING NOTES: Aromas of wild berries, rose petal, and herbal notes are complemented by stony minerals and a subtle floral lift. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine tannins, lively acidity, and a stony, persistent finish.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: A versatile wine — great with grilled vegetables, white meats, mushroom risotto, or goat cheese.
