Bodegas Canopy

Bodegas Canopywas founded in 2003 by two oenologists, Alfonso Chacon and Belarmino Fernández. In the Sierra de San Vicente, south of Toledo, at an altitude of 750 meters, they gradually bought up 19 plots, mainly old Grenache vines in the Mentrida appellation. Abandoned by winegrowers who preferred to plant international grape varieties on the plains, these plots were destined to be uprooted. The duo has restored this unique terroir to its former glory, with its cool climate that preserves aromas, sandy soils resting on a granite base, and scattered plots separated by forests of juniper and wild fig trees. The duo also owns modern Syrah plantations and steeply sloping schist plots, which bring great biodiversity to the Bodegas Canopy estate.
