Our History
Bodem, which means “soil” in Dutch, truly symbolizes the origin of this winery with Dutch roots. After more than 25 years working and living for and for Spanish wine, the Geirnaerdt-van Ekeris family found in Cariñena the place to which they felt deeply attached. That is why Bodem is not another winery but a firm commitment to Spanish wine, with the Garnacha variety and, ultimately, with a dream.
Why Carinena?
Marga slopes in the Sierra de Algairén. Grey, arid and eroded lands, where the elegant Garnacha finds its little paradise. Cariñena is the great unknown beyond the Spanish borders; the forgotten cradle and birthplace of the Garnacha grape, where the variety has been cultivated since before the 3rd century BC.

Tasting note
On the nose, white-fleshed fruits, lime, mango stand out along with mountain herbs such as thyme and fennel that give it great complexity. Soft, enveloping step, with weight. It offers us a fruity explosion with lively acidity and mineral touches. very gastronomic wine
