Description of their own wines
Their wines show the utmost respect for the land they come from, with careful selection and viticulture. Together with their team, they are able to express the full potential in various projects based on the Tempranillo variety, which also subtly and elegantly incorporate varieties such as Garnacha or Graciano, achieving wines with an excellent balance between fruit and wood that reflect a modern and contemporary style, while staying true to the tradition they represent.
Professional career
The beginnings of Rodrigo Espinosa as an enologist were in Chile, in vineyards located in the central region of the country. Later, he moved to the U.S., where he worked with native varieties from the North American continent. His curiosity to discover the winemaking qualities of the Old World brought him to Europe; initially, to the region of La Mancha, where he had the opportunity to work with its great variety of grapes. Driven by his immense dedication, he moved to Rioja over a decade ago to work with its rich soils. In this land, he found the best conditions to create wines that reflect all the passion that has driven him around the world.
