Since 1885, the Vicente Gandía seal gives all its products common characteristics: high quality, reasonable prices, and stability between one harvest and another. Wines that transmit elegance, complexity, softness and balance. Today, you can find Vicente Gandía in 90 countries on 5 continents, as the largest winery in the Valencian Community. In addition, in 2014 it won the award for the best Spanish winery in the prestigious international competition AWC Vienna. That same year, the World Association of Writers and Journalists of Wines and Spirits included it in their ranking of the top 50 wineries in the world. In 2018, the European Congress of Enogastronomic Brotherhoods (CEUCO) awarded the “Aurum Europa Excellente” Prize to Vicente Gandía as “Best European Winery”, reconfirmed also in 2022. It’s a miracle that you’re here, that you’ve chosen this bottle, that you’re reading these words. We often dream so big that we forget about the wonderful things happening around us every day. A surprise trip, that song that took you back to your childhood, or the strange coincidence of finding love... in the end, miracles are just extraordinary events – and life is full of them. It all depends on you. You can keep waiting for that big event that might change your life, or you can toast the here and now, and make the miracle happen yourself. Sometimes the extraordinary does happen – you just have to let it. For more info, visit El Miracle website. VARIETALS Bobal, Cabernet Sauvignon VINTAGE 2022 Download Tasting Note

Bodegas Vegalfaro Vino de Pago de Los Balagueses Syrah

Vinum Lector Staff — Tue, 09 Jun 2020 10:36:21 +0000

Andrés Valiente and his son Rodolfo formed Viñedos & Bodegas Vegalfaro in 1999. The name Vegalfaro comes from a combination of the word “vega,” meaning a lowland meadow or stretch of alluvial soil, with the historic name of their winery property, Casa Alfaro. Bodegas Vegalfaro cultivates 60 hectares (148 acres) of low-yielding vines that fully conform to the strict requirements of Ecological Farming established by the European Union. The winery has never utilized artificial products in its vineyards, so soils are alive with a prolific variety of microfauna. These microscopic organisms are very important for the decomposition of organic material, as well as for the absorption of nutrients through a symbiotic relationship with the vine roots. The Pago de Los Balagueses estate is a privileged vineyard site in a solitary location entirely surrounded by forests within the mountainous Parque Natural de las Hoces del Cabriel, an ideal microclimate and soil for vine growing. Pago de Los Balagueses is Vegalfaro’s top-echelon wine brand, entirely sourced from one of only seventeen wine estates in Spain awarded the DOP Vino de Pago designation to date. Spain’s “vino de pago” system is an appellation structure that was legally created in 2003 by the Spanish government, in coordination with Spain’s winemaking community, to indicate a higher qualification of excellence than DO or even the top-level DOCa. It is comparable to the French-wide Grand Cru system. Certified organic. For more info, visit Bodegas Vegalfaro website. VARIETALS 100% Syrah VINTAGE 2021 Download Tasting Note

These microscopic organisms are very important for the decomposition of organic material, as well as for the absorption of nutrients through a symbiotic relationship with the vine roots. Caprasia in Iberian meant “the land of the goats.” The Caprasia brand pays tribute to a time when wild goats ran free and the native Iberian people practiced viticulture between the Sierra Cabrillas mountains and the Cabriel river. Situated at an altitud of 680m in the Vega del Rio Magro, this wine comes from a plot of red loamy clay soil adjoining the bodega and another small plot of limestone. The entire Bobal plantation is grown in the traditional bush vine style comprised of old vines with an average age of 85 years. Certified organic. For more info, visit Bodegas Vegalfaro website.
