Cueva del Chamán Vino ecológico

Cueva del Chamán 2023 is a remarkable red wine that embodies the essence of eco-friendly winemaking. Produced by Bodega Santa Cruz de Alpera, this organic Garnacha Tintorera offers a unique experience with every sip. With an alcohol content of 14.5%, it showcases the distinctive character of the native grape variety, known for its depth of flavor and vibrant color.

Crafted using traditional methods, the winemaking process begins with destemming the grapes, followed by fermentation in rotating horizontal tanks at a temperature of approximately 28°C. The wine undergoes twelve days of skin contact, enabling it to extract the rich flavors inherent in the Garnacha Tintorera.

After the malolactic fermentation, Cueva del Chamán is aged in 300-liter French oak barrels for a minimum of four months. These barrels, ranging from zero to three years in age, contribute a touch of new oak, with 25% of the barrels being fresh. This careful aging process culminates in a gentle clarification and cold stabilization, followed by an amicroscopic filtration that preserves all of the wine’s organoleptic characteristics.

Visually, this wine presents a clean, purple-red hue with a deep color intensity. On the nose, it reveals a bouquet that respects the fruity nature of the Garnacha Tintorera, characterized by wild red fruits, currants, and blackberries. These aromas are beautifully complemented by smoky and roasted notes derived from the high toasting of the French oak barrels.

The palate welcomes you with a sweet entry, where the balance between acidity and tannins enhances its persistence. The strength of the Garnacha Tintorera shines through, leading to a long finish with toasted undertones. The lingering sensation evokes complex memories of forest red fruits intertwined with hints of vanilla, coffee, and tobacco.

Cueva del Chamán is an excellent pairing for beef dishes, game, and strong aged cheeses. The proteins in the meat harmonize perfectly with the wine’s tannins, creating a truly delightful synergy on the palate. Experience the vibrant character of this organic red wine and savor its exquisite flavors that highlight the best of Spanish winemaking.
