Bodem Bodegas has Dutch roots and Spanish soil. Bodem means «floor» in Dutch, therefore for us the floor is not just a physical space, it is much more; in fact, it is where all our work and all our enthusiasm begins. The soil, the terroir,… is our way of life, what we live on, and what we live for.
Bodem Bodegas is located in the heart of the Sierra de Algairén; that is, the cradle and birthplace of the grenache grape.
Consequently, the arid climate, and the rugged soils of the Sierra de Algairén, are all that the grenache grape needs: a lot of sun and the exact amount of minerals. For this reason, Las Margas is the reflection of all this. As a result, fruit quality, complexity, freshness and a velvety texture that make up a vibrant and generous wine.
Cariñena is the great unknown outside of Spain, in other words, the forgotten cradle; however, the place where the grenache grape was born. Its arid climate and rugged soils provide everything this variety needs, specifically, a lot of sun and the exact amount of minerals.
Vineyards: 7 hectares owned, and over 100 controlled hectares of family vineyards, owned by local winegrowers in the Valdejalón region, in the heart of the Sierra de Algairén; that is to say, the place where the grenache variety was born.
Climate: Continental – cold winters and hot summers, therefore, with radical day-night temperature contrast. The characteristic wind of the area «el cierzo», contributes to the dryness of the climate; therefore, it keeps the vineyards free of pests.
Soil: «Margas» soils; that is to say, a type of soil that occurs on limestone rock in the Sierra de Algairén.
Production style: vinification focused on the character of the grape. Wines made with traditional criteria, specifically, using native grape varieties.
Capacity: 1.6 million liters, that is, a high volume.
Las Margas is a red wine made 100% with the grenache grape, specifically, under the Cariñena Denomination of Origin.
