Experiencia en Palacio de Lerma
Lo pasamos genial y hemos aprendido mucho sobre todo el proceso del vino, de cómo diferenciar todos sus matices y del vino de Arlanza.
La experiencia de elaborar tu propio vino ha sido muy divertida y pones en práctica los conocimientos aprendidos de la mano de Ramíro. El aperitivo para la cata riquísimo al igual que los vinos, que no pudimos resistirnos en comprar.
¡Ya tenemos ganas de volver a repetir! y lo recomendamos 100%.
Muy recomendable para hacer en familia o con amigos.

About Winery and Wines
Bodegas Palacio de Lerma is the result of an entire family's winemaking tradition spanning over a century. The care of the vines, the treading of the grapes, the racking, and the loving care involved in the winemaking process have been passed down from grandparents to grandchildren. Manager and owner Ramiro García Arnáiz, the grandson of artisanal winemakers, continues this work, combining technology and artistry in winemaking and aging.
Tasting a Palacio de Lerma wine is savoring culture, nature, and art. It is experiencing the care that goes into its production. Starting with monitoring in the vineyard, we harvest the fruit into boxes and select it bunch by bunch on the sorting table. We destem at a slow speed and carefully transfer the grapes to the tanks. We macerate the musts and skins in our exclusive "pipeage" tank. The fermentation is carried out without agitation and at constant temperature control. We gently transfer the wine to the aging room using peristaltic pumping, without oxidation, without shock, and without impact. There it rests for months in new French and American oak barrels. We produce wines with a high level of color and aroma extraction, powerful yet balanced and delicate on the palate. We present you with a well-balanced and elegant wine. From the bottle, label, cork, and capsule to packaging and distribution, we offer quality, design, and service.
“Forgotten Treasures” is the name we give to our vineyard restoration project. Through this project, we aim to restore ancestral vineyards that have been forgotten because their owners are unable or lack descendants who can continue to work them. We take care of them and restore them with respect for sustainability, nurturing them to produce the grapes we have always had. They are true treasures, as they often have different varieties of century-old vines, bush-formed vineyards with irregular lines, and very limited production.
From these vineyards, which are mostly located in production-limiting areas, high-altitude areas, areas surrounded by mountains and nature, we harvest the grapes to make our most radical wines, our Radikalwines, which are wines that aim to reflect the typical characteristics of the area in the most obvious and radical way. We produce micro-vinifications of plots and extreme vineyards (limiting areas), high-altitude vineyards, seeking radicality as an element of identity. I want my wines to taste like the extreme landscape they come from. I don't want ordinary wines that are drinkable for the majority. I want unusual, extraordinary wines for a minority.
