About Bien de Altura Agan

A vineyard surpassing 90 years of age in San Mateo, northwest of Gran Canaria, is the birthplace of Bien de Altura Agan, one of the finest Canarian reds you can discover.
 
This very plot, perched above 1,100 meters, is a cherished site for Carmelo Peña, the winemaker who infuses this venture with soul and life. Following an extensive career that has taken him to places like Portugal and Chile, Carmelo returns to his homeland, where he uncovers a unique and unparalleled essence not found elsewhere on the globe. Could it be the volcanic soils, with their distinctly mineral profile? Or perhaps it's the moisture and the winds that sweep through these elevations? This refreshing character stands in stark contrast to the warm—almost desert-like—climate of the island, where high temperatures prevail year-round and rainfall is a rarity.
 
Ecological and biodynamic principles will steer Carmelo's course in this endeavor, where the challenge lies in procuring the finest bunches of Listán Negro and Listán Prieto. These indigenous varietals thrive at high altitudes, enabling Carmelo to craft the best possible red wine. While vineyard labor is critical, nothing would be accomplished without the stellar work in the winery, founded on minimal intervention and meticulous maceration processes. For Bien de Altura Agan, a portion of the grapes are manually destemmed and directly placed into open barrels, where they will rest for about 30 days. During this period, the skins will be in contact with the must, allowing for the extraction of aromas, flavors, and color. Alcoholic fermentation will also occur at this stage. Finally, Bien de Altura Agan will be pressed and transferred to stainless steel tanks where it will mature for several months prior to bottling (unfiltered and unclarified).
 
Bien de Altura Agan is more than a wine; it's a direct ticket to the very best of Gran Canaria. A leisurely journey to one of the most original and unique locales within the archipelago.
