About this wine

AUCTORITAS ÍGNEO 2023

This is the follow-up to the Alpha Ígneo, and it works on the same beautiful idea: a wine born on volcanic rock and then finished under the sea. The producers describe it as marine depth and mineral purity in the same glass, and having tasted what the Alpha did, I believe them.

The maturation is the part that makes people put their glass down and ask questions. Bodega Submarina del Mediterráneo spent seven years developing the method with the Universidad de Alicante, and the bottles go into patented silos twenty-four metres down off Cabo de las Huertas, just outside the bay of Alicante. Down there the water holds between 15 and 19°C the whole year round, it is permanently dark, and the current never stops moving. They are the only winery in the world running a fully standardised winemaking project built around underwater ageing, and the method itself stays firmly their own secret.

Two thousand five hundred and sixty bottles, released annually in small numbers. Not a novelty — one of the genuinely unusual things we can put on a shelf.

Bodega Submarina del Mediterraneo

Bodega Submarina del Mediterráneo, based in Alicante, is the only winery in the world running a fully standardised winemaking project built around underwater maturation. They spent seven years developing the method with the Universidad de Alicante: patented silos twenty-four metres down off Cabo de las Huertas, where the water stays between 15 and 19°C all year and the current never stops working on the bottles. The process is registered and kept confidential. The Ígneo wines pair that submarine ageing with fruit grown on volcanic soil.
