Description of their own wines
It is necessary to seek a personal and distinctive wine style, one that stands out in a market increasingly leaning towards globalization and standard flavors.
Professional career
After a few years of selling grapes to other bodegueros, the founding of the winery marked the moment to produce their own wine. Bodegas López Cristóbal is the result of the union of two surnames (López from Santiago and Cristóbal from Lola, his wife), later joined by their son, Galo.
