SUSTAINABILITY

R+D | Our General Manager, Iago Becerra, and the Winemaking Director, Emilio Rodríguez Canas, have presented our sustainability, innovation, and internationalization strategy to the media. They also presented the results of the NOVATERRA international cooperation project, which has allowed us to develop sustainable biocontrol products to protect vines from major diseases and reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and herbicides in the soil, increasing its biodiversity.

HARVESTS

“The low temperatures in July, the rains, and the lack of sunshine predicted a challenging ripening process, but the excellent weather conditions in August and September have provided us with balanced, very healthy, and fresh grapes, which is being reflected in the wines we are gradually obtaining; full-bodied and very long wines, distinctly fruity”.

“The 2024 harvest at Bodegas Gargalo looks promising. The musts are finishing their alcoholic fermentation, and thanks to an excellent summer with no extremes temperatures or rainfalls, the grapes that arrived at the winery had impeccable acidity and an unusual aromatic potential. A magnificent quality of the final wines is expected, faithfully reflecting the unbeatable climatic conditions of the summer.”

“The 2024 vintage has been marked by abundant rainfall, reaching record levels in the last 40 years, as well as by a summer that was not too hot. These weather conditions favour a slower ripening of the grapes, which have higher water reserves and a lower alcohol content. It has been an exceptional harvest that enhances the Atlantic character of our wines, making them smoother and fresher, with a greater abundance of fruit”.

“The harvest lasted only two weeks due to the rapid ripening of the grapes starting in the second half of September, in a year characterized by abundant spring frosts. The result is a vintage of very good quality in which we have been able to extract the full potential of our soils and varieties”.

“2024 has been a year marked by a mild summer, which results in lower vineyard yields. Despite this, we expect an exceptional vintage, characterized by fruity, vibrant, and fresh wines.”

Idoya Jarauta Gurría, winemaker at Compañía de Vinos Heraclio Alfaro
