The Character
Tasting Notes Colour: Cherry red tones, very alive. Great depth of color. Nose: Very fresh nose, which perfectly conveys the character of the highland vineyards of the Páramo de Corcos. Enormous complexity, with spicy notes from the barrel and background fruit. Palate: Very pleasant mouth, with an enveloping, velvety tannin, very well matured. Acidity integrates with the density and sweetness creating a perfect balance. Again the finish denotes highly complex fresh fruit and spices.

The Story
Old low-yield high altitude vineyards, selected in the Páramo de Corcos (Burgos) and Soria. Burgos vineyards are in the towns of Moradillo de Roa, Fuentemolinos and Castrillo de la Vega. Sandy loam soils with pebbles on the surface and layers of clay deep down. In Soria, the vineyards are located in the surroundings of San Esteban de Gormaz, on ferrous clay soils at almost a thousand meters of altitude.

About Bardos
Brand Story
At Bodegas Bardos we elaborate wines in an artisan fashion, aiming to have them reflect the Castilian landscape and climate of a place where only the bravest dare to work the land in the most extreme conditions, where the cold shrinks the bones, the wind cuts the flesh and the sun burns the skin. A place only suitable for the authentic “bards” of wine, our wine growers.
