Bodegas Antídoto

The Antídoto vineyards are not a contiguous estate, but rather a mosaic of over 770 small plots in 15 villages around San Esteban de Gormaz – a total of around 110 hectares. Many of the vineyards are located at altitudes of up to 1,000 metres, giving the wines freshness and elegance. Tinto Fino (Tempranillo), Albillo Mayor and some Garnacha grow here – on sandy-calcareous soils, characterised by an extreme continental climate with hot days and cool nights. What is special about Antídoto is not only the diversity of the terroirs, but also the respectful treatment of the region's cultural heritage. Many of the vines are over 100 years old, ungrafted and, in some cases, «survivors of the phylloxera crisis». Over 50 local winegrowers work hand in hand with Antídoto – mostly as a sideline – forming a genuine community in which experience, trust and tradition remain alive.

The style – freshness instead of opulence: the wines are clear, lively and elegant – characterised by freshness, fine structure and precise fruit. The wine of the same name, Antídoto, impresses with red fruits, subtle spice notes and a drinkable balance. The more powerful La Hormiga, made from ancient vines, shows more depth, fullness and silky tannins.

Bodegas Antídoto is more than a winery – it is a project that connects wine, landscape and people. Bertrand Sourdais and David Hernando have not only created great wines, but have also breathed new life into a region. Here, wines with origin and soul are created.
