Viña Bonita is a plot of very old vines (planted 1925) at 735 meters altitude. The soil here is shallower than at Bernabeleva's other sites, with vine roots almost immediately hitting the compacted granite bedrock below the surface. It is south-facing and more exposed than Arroyo del Tórtolas resulting in a more full-blooded, dense wine, although still with that tell-tale Bernabeleva finesse. This was matured in used, 600-liter oak barrels, combined with some six months in stainless steel to settle down after blending and before bottling.

Reviews

“It seems like in 2013, all conditions coincided to produce a really outstanding Viña Bonita, with subtle and complex aromas (even if the wine is still very young), with lots of dry flowers and wild strawberries with great freshness and elegance. The palate is terribly balanced; it seems light but it's very powerful, with inner strength and tension, with the power provided not by concentration or oak, but by sheer minerality. It's very long and fresh, and it even feels a little austere, as if it doesn't want to reveal itself. Captivating. This is distinctly cheaper than most wines from this quality level; grab it if you can!”
