Wine from Bierzo

Filter 

Bierzo is a two-part wine producing region in Spain. Bierzo Alto translates to high Bierzo, which reflects that mountains of the region. Wine here is grown within the slopes. Bierzo Bajo means low Bierzo for the vast plain of the area.

A rich history dates back to Romans who successfully mined the earth in Bierzo for gold. The climate in Bierzo is largely due to the nearby Atlantic Ocean. It is cooler in Bierzo than in Castilla y Leon, but overall maintains an average temperature for the area. Local grapes produced in Bierzo are Mencia and Garnacha, but also Dona Blanca, Godello, and Palomino. Crianza wines from the region must be aged for two years, with six months in oak barrels and Reserva wines must have twenty four months in bottle and 12 months in Oak barrells.  The soil in Bierzo contains slate and granite, which allows the vines grown here to produce mineral characters in the wine. Bierzo also produces wine that has lower alcohol than other nearby regions.
