Thoughtfulness and passion led the Piserra family to devote Bodegas Larraz to make an extraordinary wine from some of the few un-grafted vines that still exist in La Rioja. Perfect alignment between soil, roots and fruit results into a dense, concentrated and opulent wine that shows the true character of La Rioja.

Love for his land, his family, his animals, his village and his traditions transpires in everything Saúl, the “vigneron” at Gil Berzal, does. And that love gets into the deepest compounds of his wines. It is a peaceful love, sustained everyday with hard work. Contagious love that attracts butterflies, bees, flowers and birds to his beautiful vineyards.

Miguel, Bodegas Ojuel’s winemaker has taken the journey that most of us dream of completing for ourselves. He has looked into the souls of the wines produced by his high altitude vineyards in Rioja and has brought back to life just the purest essence of those wines.

Pascual Larrieta’s wines combine the harmony of nature with the steady hand of honest wine making, resulting in incredibly balanced, yet powerful wines. The serene breeze from Sierra Cantabria and the peaceful landscapes of La Rioja Alavesa are captured in these wines.




In a land of castles and conquerors, atop mountains, Ruben Saenz grows the vines that are the pride of Bodegas San Prudencio. Perseverance, centuries of know-how and braveness have resulted in vines growing at an unlikely high altitude and wines that preserve the traditions and natural greatness of this land.

Gancedo represents timeless elegance. Vineyards surrounded by wild flowers, wolves and eagles that have incorporated their strength and character. The combination of centuries-old knowledge of wine making with the right amount of modern. A symbol of status earned with centenary vines, hard work and talent that impresses everybody.

Bodegas Pincelo is a sanctuary in the heaven of the Ribeira Sacra, one of the most astounding landscapes on earth. The only winery of this Spanish region that produces certified-organic wine. Alfonso, the patriarch of Bodegas Pincelo, manages the forces of nature and centuries-old traditions, to perpetuate the practice of natural wine making.


Ramon Ramos has tamed the powerful grapes of the Toro appellation into wines that unleash the raw taste of sensuality. Wines that are primitive but playful and welcoming. Dominant, while tender and soft. Austere and rustic, with sophistication and luxury. Pure intensity and passion from wild centenary grapes.

Beyond organic or biodynamic, Ton believes in the wisdom of the vine and its environment to produce the best grapes. No watering, no ploughing, and no chemicals are used on the vineyard or in the winery. Colors, energized nutrients, magnetic forces and a lot of love and respect from Ton, make these wines an amazing product of nature.

Costador Terroirs Mediterranis is more than just a winery, it is an adventure to discover the most difficult destinations in wine making, and Joan Franquet, its wine artisan, is the ultimate explorer. Joan starts his journey with the most difficult grapes to grow, almost extinct varietals from high altitude vineyards.

The best kept secret in the heart of the Serranía de Ronda. Surrounded by Mediterranean forest and a myriad of wild herbs such as rosemary, thyme and lavender, that imprint these wines with intense balsamic tones. Biodynamic agriculture. No sulfites added, no chemical additives, ever.

Nuria and John, the wine masters at Finca Tobella changed their lives and went back to their origins with only one purpose: happiness. They are happy, the people working with them are happy and their beautiful vineyards on the astonishing “licorella-rich” slopes of surrounding Gratallops seem to whisper while you walk on them that they are happy too!

2016


Elaboration

No pesticides, herbicides or inorganic fertilizers are used. Vineyard is lightly plowed with animal-powered equipment. Manual harvest. Whole clusters are thrown into a stainless steel deposit. The clusters at the bottom break by the weight of the grapes on top. The must at the bottom initiates the alcoholic fermentation, creating carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere. This environment facilitates the conversion of sugars into alcohol inside the rest of the grapes aided by their own internal enzymes. Once the fermentation/maceration has finished, the clusters are lightly pressed and wine is transferred to a clean deposit. Only autochthonous yeast are used. The lunar and biodynamic calendars are followed as much as possible.

Tasting Notes

Intense black cherry color with purple hues. Very floral on the nose with distinctive violet notes, as well as ripe red currants, raspberries and liquorice.

2011


Elaboration

Elaborated from grapes harvested during winter at night so grapes are always at temperatures below freezing. The grapes are naturally de-hydrated and are pressed under freezing temperatures to extract a high-sugar content must. The alcoholic fermentation is made in stainless steel tanks, very slowly (90 days) due to its low temperature and high sugar content. Yeasts are unable to ferment all the sugar content into alcohol and the result is a sweet wine with the right levels of acidity and alcohol that make this an unforgettable wine. Lastly, the wine is bottled with a light filtration but with no stabilization to preserve its personality and freshness.

Vintage Information

Temperature and rain were ideal for this region and resulted in wines of extraordinary balance and complexity. The 2011 vintage was classified as “excellent” by the official appellation board, the highest grade a vintage can obtain.

Tasting Notes

Shiny pale yellow color. Intense and sophisticated on the nose, with clear notes of roasted pear and red apple confiture. Indescribable finesse on the palate, which gets coated with a velvety layer of sweet freshness. Roasted, preserved fruits and macedonia of exotic fruits persist on the long finish. Enjoy it with cheese, fruit-based and creamy desserts, coffee.

2000


Vintage Information

High temperatures, specially at the end of maturation cycle which resulted on an early harvest. Lots of rain in winter and spring but very dry during the summer.

Elaboration

Everything on the elaboration process is 100% natural with absolutely zero artificial chemicals/pesticides/herbicides/fertilizers or additives used in the vineyard or in the cellar. The vineyard is treated like a natural forest. The majority of the clusters come from old vines and vineyards that have not been ploughed for over 6 years. Weeds are cut away (this means no dust or fine particles scattered into the air). The spiders in the vineyards act as a natural insecticide. The fruit clusters were handpicked on “fruit days” and vinified following the Lunar Calendar 2011-2012. The overripe Xarel.lo clusters are lightly crushed in a vertical plate press. The clusters are macerated and fermented and the wine is left on its lees in new French oak barrels (Allier) for 9 months at a low temperature. The wine is then bottled in 750 ml ceramic containers to protect from the negative effects of light. The aging process is done underwater for at least 4 years in underground deposits on non-negative geo-biological zones (never placed over “curry lines”). No added sulfites.
