It not only seems like we have some amazing Spanish wines at incredible prices, but we do. Over the last couple of years, Spanish winemakers have really stepped up their game, and we have all enjoyed the results. The Bodegas Jiminez-Landi Bajondillo is another great example of a Spanish wine that over-delivers.
Bodegas Jiménez - Landi is a family project that shows a passion for the countryside and the vineyard. We are located in Mentrida, home to a great wine tradition (some of the references to vineyards in the area date back to the twelfth century). We're located west of Madrid and north of Toledo, in the foothills of the Sierra de Gredos.
Jose Benavides Jiminez-Landi began managing the winery in 2004, producing great wines based on tradition and balance with the environment. Limited production wines that represent the typical characteristics of soils and varieties (most often, Garnacha) with which we work and the nature that surrounds them.
The vines cover about 15 hectaires, and are aged between 12 and 40 years. The landscape of Mentrida is pasture and woodland. The flora is dominated by oaks, olive trees, oaks and poplars. Flowers such as lavenders, thyme, brooms, dominate the landscape. Grain fields and olive groves alternate with the cultivation of the vines.
The Bajondillo is a very clean wine with a sparkling ruby color. It has an intense and complex nose of red berries, wild herbs, licorice and violets. The palate is an explosion of strawberry; intense and balanced with vibrant acidity that lets you drink with pleasure and ease.
