Jimbro Bruñal is a clear example of our product philosophy: a wine with great expressiveness, concentration and elegance. The sensory profile of the Bruñal variety, along with our cultivation practices and the region’s soils, allow us to produce a wine with a distinctive character.

The Vineryard:

From its conception, our project has focused on recovering autochthonous varieties which are emblematic of the region, and which are in danger of extinction. In the case of red grape varieties, we work with Bruñal, a variety which is perfectly suited to the high soil diversity and microclimate of the Arribes del Duero.

We have 6 hectares of vines, some of which are newly planted while others originate from hundred-year-old vineyards, in which we have carried out recovery works using grafting techniques.

Bruñal is a highly exclusive, older grape variety which was planted in the early 20th century, after a phylloxera outbreak wiped out all of the vineyards in Arribes del Duero. It is a very special grape which can only be found in this winegrowing region, and about whose origin we possess very little information. It produces small bunches of small grapes, which are notably rich in sugars yet balanced, with a high polyphenol content and rather sweet tannins.

The Bruñal variety was officially recognised on the official list issued by the Registry of Commercial Grape Varieties in 2011.

Tne enviroment: Soils and Climate:

The Bruñal vines are located in Fermoselle, at the very heart of the Arribes del Duero Natural Park, in a landscape marked by steep slopes at the point where the Rivers Duero and Tormes meet.

The soils are characterised by a high percentage of sand with coarse elements, and normal levels of stoniness, with a strong presence of slate.  These are poor-quality, shallow and acidic soils which provide adequate conditions for winegrowing.

Fermoselle is located 660 metres above sea level, and its climate features short, mild winters, early springs, hot, dry summers and mild autumns, offering an excellent climate for cultivating vines.

Free to Spain except the Canary Islands and Baleares.
