Philosophy

Foot-trodden whole-cluster fermentation in concrete and wooden vessels without temperature control. Spontaneous fermentation, minimal sulfur intervention. Ageing in used French oak and large foudres for 10–12 months yields wines of marked transparency: pale, luminous, their tannins feathered, acidity bright, the Garnacha's red-cherry purity unadorned.

Reputation

In Rioja's southeastern corner, Aldeanueva de Ebro shelters a young generation reimagining terroir. Carlos Mazo, an environmental biologist, and his partner Isa Ruiz, a graphic designer, are the first in their families to make wine rather than simply sell grapes—inheriting six hectares of traditional bush vines and the liturgies of their ancestors' vineyard work.
