More information about Chavalote
Winemaker Gonzalo Medina selected only the best Tempranillo & Garnacha grapes from the estate for this wine, which thrive on sandy soils on the Finca el Renegado. The main aim was to produce a fresh and fruity red wine - which is why the wine was matured exclusively in stainless steel without any contact with wood.
The result is a real fruit bomb: the nose is dominated by red fruits such as strawberries, raspberries and red cherries. On the palate, the Chavalote is very harmonious and balanced, yet lively and fresh with notes of blackberries, plum jam and a little liquorice. A wonderfully juicy red wine from Valencia that combines all the ripeness of the south with a round mouthfeel and fine freshness.

Bodegas Nodus
The winery Bodegas Nodus is located on an old estate in the hinterland of Valencia. The then dilapidated "Finca el Renegado", located about 600 m above sea level, was taken over in 1985 by Adolfo de las Heras Marín with the aim of producing wines purely ecologically in harmony with nature. At that time, organic viticulture was still in its infancy and was often superficially dismissed as mumbo-jumbo. Adolfo, however, firmly believed in his vision and recognized the incredible potential of the vineyards in this area. After initial difficulties, the winery made a name for itself with its fantastic wines and achieved great national recognition. Thus, today Adolfo can be considered one of the absolute BIO pioneers of Spanish viticulture. Today, the winery is completely certified organic and owns, in addition to its own vineyards, large areas of the adjacent forests, which are also...
