About Bien de Altura Sansofí

When Carmelo Peña discovered the ideal vineyards to cultivate his vision, he must have thought they were quite remarkably elevated. Situated at an altitude exceeding 1,100 meters, the name of his winery, Bien de Altura, is quite fitting; nor is it lacking in years, with vines nearing a century old, such as those used to produce Bien de Altura Sansofí. 
 
The essence of all wines from Carmelo Peña lies in San Mateo, a region to the northwest of Gran Canaria, characterized by its abundant humidity and cool breezes. A veritable oasis amidst the desert-like climate, where rainfall is notably scarce. Here, in proximity to Cueva Grande, Carmelo has identified the perfect clusters for this red wine, which undergoes maceration for approximately 40 days. During this period, the must is in contact with the grape skins, allowing for the extraction of the full character of the volcanic soils so distinctive of this archipelago. 
 
The Listán Negro grapes, along with a small quantity of indigenous white varieties used to craft Bien de Altura Sansofí, are handpicked, navigating the steep slopes where the vines thrive. Nothing is impossible for the indefatigable Carmelo, who, faced with the exorbitant costs of purchasing a vineyard, fuels his project through both leasing vineyards and buying grapes from various growers. As for the winery, his approach is always one of minimal intervention, using whole clusters. In the case of Bien de Altura Sansofí, all grapes are placed into a barrel for fermentation, remaining in contact with the skins for about 40 days. Subsequently, Bien de Altura Sansofí is transferred to a vertical press where it is gently crushed, yielding the juice that will spend several months maturing in previously used French oak barrels. 
 
Bien de Altura Sansofí is bottled unfiltered and unfined, capturing the full essence of one of Spain's most intriguing and lesser-known regions.
