Bodegas Belote

Bodegas Belote, the Winery within Caves

Bodegas Belote is truly a unique winery, located between the towns of Zamora, Valladolid and Léon, near the Portuguese border in northwestern Spain. The main reason to why it is so unique is because the winery takes place within some ancient caves that belong to the inherited culture of the traditional architecture of Roales de Campos. Just before starting the Winery, those who came to be owners, felt a pity about that their cherished ancient caves were not utilized enough. People had produced wine in these caves already 500 years ago, and those who came to be the owners of Bogedas Belote saw the potential once again. The caves are perfectly isolated and they have an ideal climate that does not fluctuate, and all these things together are perfect for wine production circumstances.

Life Long Project

Since the owners are eager to elevate the reputation of the area, and its potential, especially when it comes to the caves, they are working really hard to be able to continue their development of a stable and attractive Winery. They want their regional community to see the same value as they do, and that people also see the assets of guarding such an ancient and traditional culture treasure.

Delicious Wines

The wines that are produced at Bodegas Belote are all of a very high quality. The workers have interfered as little as possible during the production process, to let the wines be enriched with their own natural characteristics. They are aware of the assets of their own regions terroir, and the quality of their vineyard, which is why they use regional grapes. Their most cherished regional grape is Prieto Picudo that is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.
