2022 Bernabeleva Navaherreros

Bernabeleva is located in the San Martín de Valdeiglesias subzone in the hills northwest of Madrid, at the feet of the Cerro de Guisando and Gredos mountains. Four generations have tended organically managed vineyards where old vines stretch their roots through thin, infertile sandy soils formed from decomposed granite. The Camino de Navaherreros is produced predominantly with Garnacha and approximately 10% Tempranillo from hand-harvested fruit. In the warm 2022 vintage, grapes were picked very early to maintain moderate alcohol levels and freshness. The wine is fermented and raised in large neutral wood, resulting in a pale, light, primary wine with vibrant character and fine tannins showing the sparkling granularity derived from granite soils.
