Bodega Sierra Salinas
Description
Data of interest
Bodegas Sierra Salinas is one of the projects that have emerged in recent years and has most contributed to the qualitative growth now recognized in the D.O. Alicante. The journey of Sierra Salinas began in 2006, led by the Castaño family (Bodegas Castaño), after five years of work, the purchase of vineyards on the slopes of the Sierra de Salinas - which gives the winery its name - and the construction of an innovative winery. In 2013, Bodegas Sierra Salinas was acquired by the MGWines group (also the owner of Bodegas Estefanía in the D.O. Bierzo and Bodegas Lavia in the D.O. Bullas, among others).
The Sierra Salinas winery is located in an exceptional setting, bordering Murcia; on an estate where the vineyards are cultivated following organic viticulture principles and coexist with almond trees, olive trees, and hillsides at almost 700 meters above sea level. It comprises 51 hectares of vineyards, mostly monastrell (the queen grape of southeastern Spain), from old vines with limited yields that grow on limestone soils. Additionally, the winery cultivates cabernet sauvignon, alicante bouschet, and petit verdot varieties.
Next to the vineyard, there is a technological winery where all processes are carried out using gravity. A carefully crafted and highly respectful production process allows the grape to express itself to the fullest. For aging, the winery exclusively uses French oak barrels, which rest in an underground cellar where the wines mature under optimal natural conditions.
