Having joined forces with friend Alejandro they started looking for Rioja’s old lost ‘majuelos’ (extremely small vineyard plots) and studying their specific soils and microclimates. Their ethos is one of observation, respectful learning and experiment: a fundamental part of their work is done through the close relationship they develop with the old growers that, for decades, have tended to these precious vineyards and therefore know them better than anyone else.
While exploring the small sub-region of La de Najerilla with its intricate network of valleys and gentle slopes, they have indeed found small treasures with specific aspects, soils and altitudes. In the ‘workshop’ as in the vineyard, the goal is to extract each plot’s essence and soul for a unique Panorama of the true Rioja. Needless to say that winemaking is low intervention, allowing the fruit and landscape to speak for themselves. All wines all fermented spontaneously (with skin maceration in both reds and whites) and with minimal addition of sulphur.
