Vineyard: Bodem Bodegas is a personal project of Louis Geirnaerdt and Eugenie Van Ekeris. Bodem Bodegas is a family winery that is committed to vegan wines made from native grapes, that respects the terroir, and considers innovation and zero impact as the main axis of its activity.

Tasting Notes: Very intense colour. Concentrated dark fruit and intense ripeness along with toasted notes of cocoa and coffee. Good structure on the palate with a touch of tannins. More tones of black forest fruit and toffee. Full-bodied with an extraordinary finish. Enjoy with cheeses, cured meats, lamb and ribs. Perfect accompaniment to vegan protein-based dishes such as tofu, quinoa or beans.

Winemaking: The grape varieties are fermented separately, which allows the winemakers to extract the character of each one of them.

After malolactic fermentation, they are transferred to French and American oak barrels with M+ toasting, where they remain for 2 months.

During the spring, they carry out the blending process in stainless steel tanks, where the blend (different varieties from different barrels) remains for 2 months before being bottled.
