在西班牙陽光燦爛的安達魯西亞東部，馬拉加省阿薩爾基亞（Axarquía）地區那片陡峭、貧瘠卻充滿生命力的山坡上，一個關於愛、堅持與土地的故事靜靜展開。這裡，是 Bodegas Bentomiz 的家。
酒莊由來自荷蘭的夫婦 Clara Verheij 和 André Both 創立於 2003 年。原本從事翻譯與建築工作的兩人，因愛上安達魯西亞的風景與生活節奏，決定搬到西班牙南部開始新的人生。然而，他們從沒預料到，這段旅程最終會讓他們成為當地葡萄酒復興的重要推手。
搬到西班牙後，他們發現身處的山坡上種滿了被遺忘的古老葡萄藤——亞歷山大麝香（Muscat of Alexandria）。這些藤蔓年齡動輒80至100年，卻多年未曾好好照顧。看著這些深深紮根於片岩土壤的老藤，Clara 和 André 被深深打動。他們相信，這些葡萄擁有講故事的能力，而他們要做的，是把這些故事釀進酒裡。
Bodegas Bentomiz 的葡萄園位於海拔 700 米的山坡上，鄰近地中海。這裡的土壤是脆弱卻富含礦物質的片岩，葡萄根系必須深入地層中尋找水分，也因此形成了極具表現力與風土感的風味。白天陽光強烈，夜晚海風輕拂，創造出理想的成熟條件與天然酸度平衡，讓每一顆葡萄都凝聚了這片土地的靈魂。
沒有釀酒背景的兩人，憑著熱情與實作一步步學習。他們選擇手工採摘、嚴選果實，用控溫不銹鋼罐進行發酵，保留葡萄最純淨的花香與果味。有些甜酒則經過橡木桶熟成，增添結構與深度。他們打造的酒莊建築現代簡約，與自然景觀融為一體，也成為許多旅人慕名而來的品酒天堂。
酒莊的代表系列 Ariyanas，名字源自摩爾人時代對當地的稱呼，是對歷史文化的致敬。
Bodegas Bentomiz 不僅復興了安達魯西亞古老的葡萄品種與釀酒傳統，更創造了一個讓世界重新認識這片土地的窗口。他們的故事提醒我們：真正動人的酒，不一定來自豪華設備與大規模生產，而是來自一雙雙願意聆聽土地、尊重歷史、並全心投入的手。
Bodegas Bentomiz 是一段從遠方出發、卻深深紮根於安達魯西亞山坡的故事。每一口酒，都蘊含著兩位異鄉人對這片土地的熱愛與敬意。

High in the rugged, sun-drenched slopes of Axarquía, in eastern Málaga, a love story unfolds—one of passion, perseverance, and profound respect for the land. This is the story of Bodegas Bentomiz, a winery that rose from forgotten vines to become a symbol of revival in southern Spain.
Clara Verheij and André Both, a Dutch couple, founded Bodegas Bentomiz in 2003. Originally working in translation and architecture, they fell in love with the landscapes and rhythm of life in Andalusia and decided to start anew in the south of Spain. What they didn’t expect was that their new life would lead them to become guardians of a nearly lost viticultural heritage.
Shortly after moving, they discovered their hillside home was surrounded by ancient vines—Muscat of Alexandria, some over 80 to 100 years old, abandoned and untended. Yet these vines, rooted deep in the slate soils of the hills, still held life and flavor. Clara and André saw not just grapes, but stories—stories waiting to be bottled.
The vineyards of Bodegas Bentomiz lie at 700 meters above sea level, just a breath away from the Mediterranean. The brittle, mineral-rich slate soils force the roots to dig deep for water, resulting in grapes with exceptional concentration and personality. Hot sunny days are balanced by the cooling sea breeze at night, creating wines that are vibrant, fresh, and expressive.
Without a background in winemaking, Clara and André embarked on a learning journey, step by step. They chose to harvest by hand, selecting only the best fruit. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the pure floral and fruity aromatics. Some of their sweet wines are aged in oak to add complexity and structure.
Their sleek, modern winery building blends effortlessly into the landscape and has become a sought-after destination for wine lovers around the world.
Their signature collection, Ariyanas, is named after the Moorish-era name for the region—a nod to its deep cultural history.
Bodegas Bentomiz is more than a winery. It is a heartfelt project that revived local grape varieties, reconnected a region to its vinous roots, and welcomed the world to taste the hills of Málaga.
Clara and André remind us that great wine doesn’t always come from generations of tradition or state-of-the-art equipment. Sometimes, it comes from people who are willing to listen—to the land, to its silence, and to its forgotten vines.
Bodegas Bentomiz is a love letter to Andalusia, written not in words, but in wine. Every bottle is a taste of two foreigners who found home, and gave voice to a land ready to speak again.
