  • Bierzo Explained
    ● Written by Ferran Centelles 1 May 2017 Bierzo explained It's unlikely that with this article I am introducing you to Bierzo. There has been a pronounced increase in interest in this north-west Spanish region over the last 20 years. The potential of the region is beyond doubt, not just because it is the homeland of Mencía, a grape variety that has proved that it does not have to be rustic and can produce intense wines, but also because, according to Carmen Gómez, technical director at the Bierzo Consejo Regulador, it has one of the highest percentages of old vines in Spain. Almost 80% of the 3,000 ha (7,415 acres) are at least 60 years old, with many of the vines being centenarians. The Consejo has launched a project to preserve all old vines, via a land bank that helps to put elderly vine growers tempted to abandon old vines in touch with energetic younger ones, transferring ownership of 81 ha (200 acres) of old vines so far. The average yields are a moderate 7,000 kg/ha and there are 2,400 vine-growers, for many of whom viticulture is a weekend activity. Like all the regions that are on the pilgrims' route to Santiago de Compostela, such as Rioja, Navarra and Ribeiro, Bierzo's wines were already produced and valued by monks in the Middle Ages. Bierzo is located within the valley of the River Sil, from which it is Atlantic-influenced. However, the climate remains severely continental. Think of the region as a tectonic pot surrounded by a mountainous chain.

Universidad Rey Juan Carlos C/ Tulipán, s/n. Móstoles, 28933 Madrid. E-mail: [email protected] ABS TRACT El Bierzo Tertiary sub-basin (Oligocene–Miocene, NW Spain) is a small remnant of the western Duero Basin, a nonmarine broken foreland basin developed in front of the Cantabrian Mountains (Pyrenean orogen). The alluvial infill of El Bierzo Tertiary sub-basin consists of a coarsening-upward succession from fluvial (Toral Formation) to alluvial-fan deposits (Las Médulas Formation) and reflects the uplift of the Cantabrian Mountains, in the north, and then of the related Galaico-Leoneses Mountains, in the south. These alluvial deposits show signs of having been laid down mainly by catastrophic flows (flood-dominated systems) and consist of three main depositional elements, namely, flood-plain fines, and lobe and channel conglomerates and sandstones. The vertical stacking patterns of these deposits and their relationships to the Alpine structures permit to unravel the tectonosedimentary evolution of the basin. The alluvial-plain element is the main constituent of a wide unconfined alluvial plain (Toral Formation) during the early stages of basin evolution, whereas the channel and lobe elements form a set of relatively small, laterally confined alluvial fans (Las Médulas Formation) fed first from the north and then from the south.

  • Las Médulas Y Lago De Carucedo
    Las Médulas y Lago de Carucedo El Parque Cultural de Las Médulas y el Lago de Carucedo conforman un excepcional paisaje que aúna importantes valores naturales y culturales y que ha sido declarado Patrimonio Mundial de la Humanidad por la UNESCO en 1997 y Monumento Natural en 2002 por la Junta de Castilla y León. Una asombrosa obra de ingenieria. La explotación minera de Las Médulas (Carucedo) por los romanos implicó la excavación de una extensa red de galerías en el interior de la montaña que se llenaban de agua hasta saturar los niveles inferiores, ocasionando así el derrumbe de los antiguos Montes Medulios. Para poner en marcha este sistema de extracción del oro, conocido como "Ruina Montium", fue necesaria la construcción de una red de 325 Km. de canales que permitieron traer el agua desde los cercanos Montes Aquilianos y embalsarla en la parte alta de la montaña. Fue la mayor mina a cielo abierto del Imperio Romano, con más de 3 Km. de extensión y 100 m. de profundidad. Confederación Hidrográfica del Miño-Sil. 2011.
