BODEGA EL CAPRICHO INDICE DE NUESTROS VINOS Since the beginning, wine. My grandfather’s wine, from his vines. The same ones we still grow here today. The cellar he dug in the earth with his hands. The imprint of his pickaxe on the walls. The lone men who came In search of conversation round a glass. The pitchers, the chalk, the slate. The jugs of cool wine on a summer evening. The boy who carried and fetched them Among voices that did not die away until the small hours. The dust on the bottles that my father guarded, Bottles that he still counts and recounts, lest some of them get lost. Those that wait today in the silence of the cellar. Waiting for someone to select them and open them To express everything they have within In the heat of the fire and the meat.

Our region enjoys the exclusivity of this type of grape, with its small, tight clusters and spiky vines, as its name suggests. Prieto Picudo grows comfortably on the heights of the León plateau, which in some areas exceeds 800 metres, where rain is not abundant and the temperature can vary twenty degrees between day and night; this last factor, besides helping to keep potential problems at bay, causes a greater concentration of acidity and slows down the ripening process. Here in El Capricho, filled with our grandparents’ and great-grandparents’ passion for wine, we have spent years trying to recover the same vineyards that they created in their time; old Prieto Picudo vines as well as Mencía, Garnacha and a little Palomino. They are goblet-pruned vines that are difficult to grow and require great effort, but when planted in this marvellous Leonese clay and gravel soil, give wines of great delicacy and elegance, with their wonderful touch of acidity. Geni González: The Prieto Picudo grape gives rustic wines in León, with great personality and with a lot of life ahead.

Grapes in El Bierzo grow in a mild microclimate that combines the best of both worlds, the Atlantic and the continental, although sometimes the vines lean more towards one side or the other, which explains that some vintages are very warm and others cold. The area is dotted with small towns that began to make a living from wine when they abandoned mining, and started to grow the vines of the region, where the standard grape, the Mencía, expresses itself elegantly in wines with a big personality.

The liquid ruby which Luis de Góngora alludes to in his poem and which he apparently resorted to for his melancholy have been mined for many centuries, before the arrival of the Romans, in the lands of Zamora, where the more serene Duero begins to say goodbye to Spain, before entering the gorges of Los Arribes and onwards to Portugal. The extreme continental climate of the region marks the powerful character of these wines made from the red grape varieties of Toro and Garnacha, which grow in sandy soils in an arid landscape that hardly sees rain from one end of the year to the other. It is precisely this characteristic that saved their vineyards from the devastating plague of phylloxera that affected Europe at the beginning of the 20th century, so that some vineyards of great antiquity survive in the area.
