Hotel Fuerte Conil

New experience in Fuerte Conil – Costa Luz: wine and oil tastings in a traditional, charming place like Bodega Sancha Pérez

Andalucia is the land of good wine, which is why it is very important that if you come on holiday you mustn’t leave without getting to know our culture of wine and oil. The vines and olive trees grow in the fields of the south and are cultivated with care and love by the farmers, which produces excellent products. If you visit Conil, you’ll have the chance to experience one of the new experiences offered by Fuerte Hoteles: wine tasting at Bodega Sancha Pérez. Here you‘ll be able to find out the secrets of artisanal and ecological wine and oil production.

First, prepare your palate to discover the best of a good glass of Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Albariño, not forgetting Petit Verdot and Tintilla de Rota. This last variety is native to the place that has adapted well to the environment, and which was a pillar of the economy in past centuries and was named Tina Mencida. If we delve deeper into the history, in 1804 there are written references to this wine that was born from the lands of Conil, Tarifa and Vejer.  

But the quality this bodega offers is no accident, since the ecological cultivation of its raw material and the artisanal work put into making it must be emphasised. For example, the grape is harvested by hand and at night stored in 44 lb boxes so that the fruit is not damaged during transportation. It then passes to a manual selection table where the unwanted grapes are separated from the bunches so that the fermentation process can continue in temperature controlled stainless steel vats, after which the ageing cycle is completed in French oak barrels. All this results in marvellous wines you can taste on your Fuerte Experience.

But a visit to Bodega Sancha Pérez does not end there. Oil is another of its strong points. This place produces Ecological Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a balanced oil that possesses the properties and smooth, fruity taste of Arbequina. Just like the grape, the olive is picked under the best conditions in order to safeguard this product’s properties as much as possible.

The olives are picked manually and also transported in 44 lb breathable boxes to prevent unwanted fermentation. The fruit is cold pressed the same day it is picked in the field, a determining factor for the quality of the oil.

Some rustic bread with a good glug of oil is the perfect accompaniment to a leisurely afternoon of relaxation spent getting to know new gastronomic cultures. Add to this the beauty of the vineyard and olive tree fields and you have a priceless picture postcard.
