Bodega Bernabeleva. Vino tinto de la DO Vinos de Madrid (Sierra de Gredos). Elaborado 100% con uva Garnacha de la añada 2019.

Procede de una parcela única de 4,2 hectáreas con viñedos de unos 75 años de antigüedad, orientada al sur y situada sobre suelo de granito.

Perhaps the reaction after the unusually ripe 2018 was to pick the grapes for the 2019 Carril del Rey quite early, as the wine is pale and delicate, floral and ethereal at only 13.25% alcohol and with a pH of 3.28, which give it a vibrant palate with very fine, grainy and textured tannins. Could this be a vineyard that behaves better in warmer years like some Albillo I've seen? 2,600 bottles were filled in May 2021 after one year in barrel and the rest of the time in stainless steel.

Learn more about Bernabeleva

The estate's name refers to a bear. Bernabeleva translates as «where the bear lives», from a pre-Roman root, and the house sits at the foot of the Cerro de Guisando — the hill of the Toros de Guisando, the Vettonian stone carvings — which is what the label shows. The property also lies on the historic boundary between two Roman provinces, Lusitania and Tarraconensis.

It was bought in 1923 by Dr Vicente Álvarez-Villamil, a Republican physician and author who had run the Hospital del Niño Jesús and was removed from his post after Franco's coup.

His great-grandsons, Juan Diez Bulnes and Santiago Matallana Bulnes, brought the vineyards back in the mid-2000s. Raúl Pérez did the initial consulting and Marc Isart then took over technical direction. There are 35 hectares of old vines, forty to eighty years old, in San Martín de Valdeiglesias, beside the Tórtolas stream: garnacha above all, with some albillo, moscatel de grano menudo and morenillo.

Carril del Rey comes from a single 4.2-hectare plot with vines around seventy-five years old, facing south and on granite. It is 100% garnacha.

The pre-fermentation maceration is twenty-four hours in a refrigerated lorry. It ferments with all the stems at low temperature, with forty-five days of maceration and gentle foot pigeage so as not to over-extract; native yeasts and little sulphur. It ages eleven months in 500-litre French oak barrels from various cooperages and five more in stainless steel so it settles on its own.
