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.
