LAUDUM NATURE
Tradition, enthusiasm, work ... are the words that perfectly describe the philosophy we have followed since 1998 when we decided to embark on the wonderful adventure of creating the first organic wine from Alicante. With Laudum nature, our Director and chief winemaker, Don Gaspar Pedro Tomas Martinez, a true authority of Alicante’s wine world, began a journey that still continues today, on a road marked by pride and satisfaction. A journey through history and tradition that has made us one of the largest producers of organically grown wine in the world:
Respect for nature:
In Bodegas Bocopa we respect the cycle of nature to achieve the highest quality organic wines. In addition to being cultivated by hand, we only use organic treatments in the vinyard, without synthetic fertilizers and without manipulating the natural processes of cultivation.
Alicante Mediterranean flavors:
In BODEGAS Bocopa, we are committed to both tradition and future. The combined expertise and dedication of our winemakers David Llopis, Juani Madrigal and Tony Santonja, who are responsible for monitoring each and every one of our vineyards, every moment of the year, have brought about some of the finest organic wines in Spain.
Certified by the Organic Farming Committee of the Community of Valencia, our wines thoroughly reflect the charm of a wilderness, full of life and character and permeated by a Mediterranean flavor: ALICANTE.
VARIETIES
Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Monastrell.
Certified organic farming.
The vineyard: This selection of grapes has been made between our traditional vineyard and rainfed plots by selecting those best suited for the development of young wines, while the other varieties are grown in irrigated trellis support that will allow for completion of the necessary maturity.
Performance: 5,000 kg per hectare. Age of vines: An average of 20 years.
Climate: Mediterranean continental, with little rain and concentrated in autumn and late spring, with cold winters and hot weather and no rainfall ranging from flowering until the end of ripening.
Soil: The soils are clear, improving solar refraction, nutrient-poor and rich in lime and active, making it impossible to obtain high yields but easily harness the information available for the plant. Important: The soils have a clay base and high levels of elected thick stones making them permeable and fresh.
Harvest Date: October.
Maturation and harvest: strict monitoring of ripening in the field, until the optimum time for the harvest has been reached.
This vintage is made with a wide range of grapes, carefully, fairly and quickly as possible.
Fermentation: all of the skins for 6 days at approx. 26 degrees
TASTING NOTE: After a long maceration and controlled fermentation, this wine presents us with a beautiful dress, broad and intense.
Color: Gorgeous ripe cherry tones and purple sustained.
Aroma: Marked by the variety, fruity, with expressions of ripe raspberry and blackberry.
Taste: Big, warm and fleshy with an expression of its youthful elegant tannic, expanding into a long and broad taste that will evolve correctly.
Accompanied well by appetizers, cheeses, pates, ham, rice, vegetables and meat.
