From Vineyard to Glass: The Journey of a Biodynamic Wine
The Journey of a Biodynamic Wine
Wine is so much more than a drink. It is a story, a celebration, a conversation starter and, when done well, an experience that lingers long after the last sip. At Dis & Dis, we pride ourselves on curating wines that have a story to tell. Today, we’re exploring the incredible world of biodynamic wine through the lens of Bodega Emilio Valerio, a winery where tradition meets sustainability.
What is Biodynamic Wine?
At its core, biodynamic winemaking is all about harmony. It goes beyond organic practices to create a self-sustaining ecosystem within the vineyard. Farmers nurture the soil, plants and surrounding wildlife, crafting wines that are as good for the planet as they are for your palate. What’s more, biodynamic winemaking considers the lunar calendar, connecting centuries-old traditions with sustainable innovation.
Not only do these practices create wines with vibrant, unique flavour profiles, but they also resonate with a growing community of wine enthusiasts who value sustainability and authenticity.
Bodega Emilio Valerio A Story of Passion and Innovation
Nestled in the sunny region of Navarra, Spain, Bodega Emilio Valerio is a name synonymous with excellence in biodynamic wine. The Valerio family carefully tends to their 40 hectares of vineyards, cultivating grapes that thrive with little intervention. It’s a philosophy that echoes their values - respect for nature, balance within the vineyard and creating a product that tells its own story.
Each bottle of their wine is a testament to the craftsmanship behind it. Take, for instance, their San Martin Organic Garnacha 2013. Made from Grenache grapes grown in ancient vineyards, this wine brims with bold, earthy tones and showcases the richness of Navarra’s terroir. Then there’s the Aintzioa Organic 2016 White Wine, a deliciously sweet Malvasia variety with a vibrant personality that’s impossible to forget.
Whether you’re indulging in a mid-week moment of ‘me time’ or celebrating life’s big milestones, Emilio Valerio wines make every occasion extraordinary.
The Journey of a Bottle of Bodega Emilio Valerio
We often savour wine without thinking much about its story. With biodynamic wines like those from Bodega Emilio Valerio, every glass has a unique tale that starts at the roots. Here’s a glimpse into this fascinating process.
1. Nurturing the Vineyard
Every vine starts its life in meticulously prepared soil, nurtured by compost and natural preparations. The Valerio family works alongside the seasons, ensuring their land is as sustainable as it is fruitful.
2. Harvesting with Care
Hand-harvested grapes are selected for their ripeness and quality. This process eliminates unnecessary machinery, keeping the environmental impact minimal.
3. Minimal Intervention Winemaking
Once the grapes arrive in the winery, the focus remains on preserving the authentic flavours of the fruit. Emilio Valerio’s winemaking philosophy avoids additives and unnecessary filtering to allow the grapes' natural characteristics to shine through.
4. Bottling and Ageing
Each bottle is crafted to perfection and aged with an eye on the future, producing wines that only improve over time. This approach enhances the full-bodied character that lovers of biodynamic wine have come to cherish.
5. Telling the Story
Finally, the bottles are distributed, carrying the soul of the vineyard directly to your table. Each sip connects you to the vineyard’s history, the Valerio family’s dedication, and the richness of the Navarra region.
