Region: Cariñena DOP
As one of Spain’s oldest protected designations, Cariñena DOP offers an ideal environment for producing robust red wines. Characterized by a continental climate, with significant diurnal temperature variations and stony soils perfect for grape cultivation, this region is now celebrated not only for its Garnacha grapes but also for sophisticated blends that include Tempranillo and international varieties like Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Blend Composition & Grape Varieties
Bodem Bodegas Oxte The Silence Red Blend DOP is a masterful fusion of Iberian and global grape varieties:
- Tempranillo (40%): Provides structure and classic cherry notes.
- Syrah (25%): Introduces a spicy, peppery character with dark berry undertones.
- Garnacha (25%): Adds juiciness and a vibrant bouquet of red fruit.
- Cabernet Sauvignon (10%): Complements with tannic grip and blackcurrant nuances.
Viticulture & Winemaking Practices
Grapes for this blend are cultivated in high-altitude vineyards, benefiting from the climate’s ability to maintain acidity alongside full ripeness. Harvested at the peak of their maturity, these grapes are vinified without oak influence, resulting in a wine that emphasizes fruit purity. As a vegan-friendly product, no animal-derived fining agents are used, aligning with a commitment to sustainable practices.
