Interesting facts
Made from Syrah grapes sourced from the best vineyards located at an altitude of over 400 meters above sea level, primarily on sandy soils that are over 35 years old. After hand harvesting, the grapes ferment with selected yeasts in concrete tanks with extended maceration. Malolactic fermentation and 12 months of aging occur in French oak barrels.
About the Manufacturer
The young winery Canopy is a project of two friends and winemakers, Alfonso Chacon and Belamino Fernandez. They began realizing their dream of creating a fundamentally new wine in 2004 by searching for special vineyards where old Grenache vines and younger Syrah vines should grow. The Mentrida area in Toledo perfectly matched these criteria. This region had not been in demand for a long time, as it left winemakers with memories of its old-fashioned, coarse wines. The Canopy vineyards are located at an altitude of 750 meters above sea level and feature granite and siliceous soils. They underwent careful selection to perfectly match the profile of the intended wines.
