A Cádiz native who trained at Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Comte Armand, and in Priorat under Álvaro Palacios and Daphne Glorian before settling in Bierzo and launching her own label in 2010. She farms old Mencía on schist and sandy soils organically, with spontaneous fermentation, whole-bunch ferments for single-vineyard wines, and amphora aging alongside neutral oak. Her guiding principle: minimal intervention, letting each site’s identity come through undisturbed. One of Bierzo’s most acclaimed modern voices, prized for precision and purity drawn from an outsider’s rigorous, Burgundy-honed technique.
