Bodega Submarina Del Mediterráneo

Bodega Submarina Del Mediterráneo is a unique wine producer located in the Mediterranean region of Spain. What makes this winery stand out is their innovative method of aging their wines – by submerging them underwater. This process, known as “submerged aging”, is believed to enhance the complexity and flavour of the wine.

The winery is situated in the coastal town of Calpe, in the Alicante province of Spain. The Mediterranean Sea serves as the perfect environment for the submerged aging process, providing stable temperature and pressure conditions for the wines. The winery itself is built on a cliff, overlooking the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean.

Bodega Submarina Del Mediterráneo produces a range of wines using traditional Spanish grape varieties such as Monastrell, Garnacha, and Tempranillo. These grapes are carefully selected from the best vineyards in the region and are then submerged in specially designed containers in the sea for a period of 6-12 months. The winery also produces a white wine called “Marina Alta” which is aged in a submerged cave near the winery.

The wines produced by Bodega Submarina Del Mediterráneo have received numerous awards and recognition, both nationally and internationally. Their unique aging process has been praised by wine critics for bringing out the best qualities of the grapes and adding a distinct mineral character to the wines.

Apart from their innovative winemaking methods, Bodega Submarina Del Mediterráneo is also committed to sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. The winery uses solar energy to power their facilities and has implemented recycling and waste reduction measures in their production process.

The winery also offers tours and tastings, allowing visitors to experience the underwater aging process first-hand and learn more about the history and techniques behind it. Visitors can also enjoy stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea while sipping on the winery’s exquisite wines.
