Description of their own wines
The wines of Finca Río Negro combine the (almost lost) tradition of the area based on the tempranillo variety, complemented by the minor contribution of French varieties. In order of importance: syrah, cabernet sauvignon, and merlot. On the palate, these are very flavorful, powerful wines, where the ripening conditions of the vineyard's unique location result in wines with higher acidity than most in central Spain.
Professional career
Since 2002, he has been involved in the development of Finca Río Negro, contributing to the design of the plantation, varieties, proportions, location, and cultivation methods. He has also participated in the winemaking and design of the wines, as well as in the project of the winery facilities at the machinery level.
