Bodegas – Garnacha from Aragón

TORCAL

Hnos. Torcal is an Aragonese family winery established in 1887. Originally from Morata de Jalón, it is currently located in the DOP Cariñena. A winery led for decades by enterprising women, with a great passion for wine and respect for tradition.

Since our beginnings we dedicated ourselves to bulk, making great wines for great wineries. In 2016 we started our own elaborations, betting on expressive, different wines and with a careful image and brands inspired by Aragonese history: Cachirulo, Marqués de Fuendetodos and Aromas del Pilar.

Currently the fifth generation is at the helm of the company, a young team that has taken over learning from the experience and tradition of the family in the world of wine.

Hnos Torcal owns120 hectares of vineyards with different varieties: Garnacha, Cariñena, Syrah, Tempranillo, Cabernet, Merlot, Macabeo and Chardonnay. Most of our plots are located at more than 600 m altitude. Our vineyard plots are adjoining and make up almost a joint unit of land.

We dedicate all our efforts to producing quality wines. Our wines are a reflection of the wisdom and love for good wine for 200 years.

TEMPORE

Family Yago Aznar.
Bodegas TEMPORE was created by the Yago Aznar family in the year 2000. Aft¬er 4 generations of vine growing and with an immense knowledge in organic viticulture, the family decided that this effort had to be properly represented in the wines, therefore decided that it was time to not only grow grapes but to pour into a bottle all the experience gained during almost an entire century. Our job is in constant movement, it is our life and we grow each year along with our vineyards and wines.

Organic Winemaking.
We believe that wine is made in the land so we work daily to improve the quality and sustainability of our terroir. We are different in many ways during all the process involved in winemaking. In the land we do not seek for large productions, we seek for excellence. We innovate in agriculture to improve our vine growing because we believe that there is always a way to do it better. Organic viticulture and winemaking is the only way we understand to work the land and elaborate top quality wines.

Our team is our family. Professionals specialized in each area related to the vineyard and the winery, but most importantly, we are a team in love with our work with a single philosophy "Respect for the Land, Passion for Wine".

Autochthonous Varieties.
Our origins belong to these soils and they are rooted as the vines to a thirsty and dry land. The Garnacha is original from our land Aragón, it is our most significant variety. Red Garnacha and white Garnacha grapes provide our wines with particular personality, revealing its elegance, their fruitiness and their delicate tannins.
Tempranillo is one of the most known variety from Spain. Our Tempranillo grapes are very different from Tempranillo of other regions due to our soil and climate conditions.

Our vineyards cover an area of 120 hectares that extend over a plain at a height of 550 metres above sea level. A limy and sandy soil rich in minerals, scarce precipitation that does not exceed 300 litres per year and a 90% sunshine rate and low yields of no more than 5.000 kg per hectare are the characteristics that provide our wines with their earthy character - warm and persistent wines, full-bodied and with suggestive aromas.

SOMMOS

Bodega SOMMOS: an avant-garde winery in the heart of the Somontano whose architecture is recognized by the international press as “One of the Architectural Wonders of the Wine World”. Sommos is a geometric game, cubes intermingling to give rise to a prism. A commitment to knowledge, to be so much more than just a winery in which wine is made.

Our tasting room is the ideal space to discover the complexity of our wines. A place where there are no distractions and your senses focus on experiencing the subtleties that our wines are willing to offer you. From coupage wines that express the contemporary character of the Somontano D.O., to our "Collection of single varietals from singular vineyards", in which wines of great complexity are created through a combination of the terroir with the different micro-climates and our know-how.

Standing 27 metres tall, our processing premises has been designed to use gravity to move the grapes, must and wine. This allows us to avoid the traditional use of pumps. Our production involves French oak vats, concrete and stainless steel tanks of various capacities to be able to ferment each plot separately, thus respecting the potential of each terroir. We have optical selection equipment that selects grapes individually to ensure they meet the optimum quality conditions. Finally, in our barrel room we find an exquisite park of French oak barrels to add complexity to our wines while respecting their character.

Bodega SOMMOS owns 355 hectares of vineyard in the Somontano region. We grow low-yielding strains, placing emphasis on quality over production. Our grapes are small in size, tasty and aromatic. We monitor and lavish attention on them 365 days a year, considering the terrain, orientation, weather, humidity and any other environmental factor that may affect the grapes.

At Sommos we are so proud of our work in the Somontano D.O. that we are delighted to show you how we make our wines, from start to finish. From the vineyards to the different stages in the winery, and, naturally, rounding off with a tasting of our wines. And we can complement all this with endless activities in an incomparable setting, such as horseback riding, "segway" tours, pairing tastings and the culinary delights of our restaurant. When are you coming to see us?

SOLAR DE URBEZO

Founded in 1995 by Santiago Gracia Ysiegas in the region of Cariñena, 45 km south of Zaragoza, in Spain. The Gracia Campillo family are the fifth generation of winegrowers.

100 hectares of vineyards with the traditional Spanish varieties: Grenache (red and white), Tempranillo, Cariñena and Muscat and French varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Chardonnay, grown in trellis and glass.

Organic agriculture following the guidelines of the European Union and officially certified in 2015. Our vineyards lie at an altitude of 500-600 m asl. We produce unique wines thanks to our microclimate and terroir, with a marked contrast of over 15 °C between daytime and night-time temperatures.

We use drip irrigation at night to make the most of our production and balance out the lack of precipitation. Planting a cover crop in alternate years among the Urbezo vines prevents fungal diseases. We use organic fertilizer, adding in fermented marc.

Complex soils with an exclusive terroir and excellent drainage to provide our wines with minerals and intense fruity aromas. The result of the proximity of the Sierra de Algairén and the winds off the Moncayo.

SECASTILLA

Hidden in the foothills of the Pyrenees, these 80 years old Garnacha vines produce an exceptional wine – Secastilla, a unique estate which produces very special Garnacha wines.

Our aim is to make concentrated and complex wines which have the aromas and flavours typical of their terroir which are unrepeatable.

The wines can only be produced from the Secastilla estate, a vineyard surrounded by seven hills planted with olive trees and lowland, wild herbs – giving lush complexity to these delicious Garnachas.

La Miranda de Secastilla Garnacha, made from the Garnacha, Syrah and the native Parraleta varieties, results in an expressive, aromatic and round red wine.

In “La Miranda” estate, the White Garnacha vines grow, age and mature until they are manually harvested, in a careful and delicate way. To achieve greater complexity, this unique Somontano white wine remains for four months in French oak barrels. Finesse and elegance stand out on the nose, where it awakens aromas of white fruit. On the palate it is smooth, clean and balanced, leaving a pleasant memory and reflecting the unique terroir from which it comes: the Secastilla Valley.

BODEGA SAN VALERO

Bodega San Valero focuses on native varieties (Garnacha and Cariñena), accounting for 70% of the cultivation.

The winery has been a benchmark in the area since 1944. It is the oldest of its kind in Cariñena, meaning some of the most outstanding vines in the area have been cultivated for over 75 years.

The winery manages 500 winegrowers who together cultivate over 4,000 hectares of vineyard as active members of the cooperative. 90% of the vineyards are in the environs of the winery facility, close to the town of Cariñena.

The winery is considered one of the most advanced and sustainable in Cariñena, combining passion and a respect for tradition with the most modern winemaking techniques in Europe.

Bodega San Valero represents about 27% of the entire PDO Cariñena. 100% of the production comes from the property. Its more than 18,000 French and American oak barrels make it the largest wine plant in Aragon.

BODEGAS PANIZA

The origins of Bodegas Paniza lie in the town from which it takes its name, Paniza. Almost 70 years ago in this small town near Zaragoza we set out on an adventure to offer the world the best of this land: our wine.

The vineyards of Bodegas Paniza are located within the territory encompassed by the Cariñena Protected Designation of Origin and cover about 3,000 hectares.

Our vines mature at a higher altitude than any other vineyard within the Cariñena Protected Designation of Origin.
There is great variety in the geological composition of the soil and undersoil where our vines grow. This is dependent on the altitude at which the vineyards are located. The lower areas are home to brown-limestone soils, sandstones and clays. However, slate soil prevails higher up (up to 850m), where the oldest vines grow.

There are various ranges of products at Bodegas Paniza. Our wines range from the young (specially created for beginners in the world of wine) to the signature aged (much more complex and developed, ideal for those looking for the perfect harmony between tradition, modernity and elegance).

We have a management system that is based around three key factors: quality, promotion of the local economy and respect for the environment. Bodegas Paniza has close links to the land from which its vineyards are born and its humble origin, but at the same time it is an outward looking winery that has great international vocation. We are working hard every day to internationalise; hence, our wines are already enjoyed in over 58 countries around the world.
