Thematic Interest & Activities

Winery: A guided tour around the casks by the wine producer will introduce us to the forms of production and aging.

Viticulture: In Bodegas Puelles we believe that great wines have to start from the vineyard. So for us, viticulture is a collaboration with nature, a balance between our passion for excellence and our trust in the natural expressionof the soil, climate and grape variety.

Vines have been grown in Ábalos for many, many centuries. There are still ancient stone wine presses in the fields, whose origins are unknown. The Bodegas Puelles vineyard, principally of Tempranillo, aims at obtaining moderate environment and give the fruit greater quality, ,with no use of chemical fertilisers or herbicedes and using only such treatments are as absolutely necessary.

Vinification: The installations have been designed to ensure maximum quality throughout the process: gentle destemming, 20,000 –litre fermenting vats for better control and natural cooling by the mill stream running by. Pressing is via an air-pressure pneumatic bag system.

Ageing takes place in 225-litre “Bordeaux” casks, half in French oak and half uin American oak, in an underground are in which the conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.) are ideal for the living wine’s best qualities to evolve. Here, engulfed in darkness and immersed in the deepest slumber, it slowly ages, watched over by its expert minders.
