Description
Data of interest
Bodegas Canopy is a young winery founded in 2004 in Camarena (Toledo), the result of the initiative of Belarmino Fernández and Alfonso Chacón, two winemaker friends with extensive professional experience in the wine world as well as the business and hospitality sectors.
With the idea of rediscovering for the public the historic terroir encompassed by the D.O. Méntrida, they began searching for old garnacha vineyards, the dominant variety in the area, and modern plantations of the foreign syrah variety on which to base their project.
Currently, Bodegas Canopy owns a total of 19 hectares of vineyards: 11 hectares of garnacha vines aged between 40 and 90 years, located in the area of El Real de San Vicente; and the remaining 8 hectares of syrah, between 16 and 20 years old, are planted in trellis on sandy soils in the same municipality of Camarena. All the vineyards of this Toledo-based winery are cultivated following the principles of organic viticulture, respecting to the fullest the particularities of each variety.
The winemaking process at Canopy includes a selection table, the traditional grape treading, cold pre-fermentation maceration, early racking, malolactic fermentation, and aging in barrels of various sizes. Canopy’s production is based on the utmost respect for the grapes in the winery. Under the D.O. Méntrida, the winery markets six single-varietal red wines: Tres Patas, Malpaso, La Viña Escondida, Congo, Castillo de Belarfonso, and Loco.
