Winemaking partners Thierry de Francisco and Pepe Alvarez have created a sensation in Rias Baixas with their one-of-a-kind, lush, mineral-laden Albariño. Having been mentored at large, prestigious estates, the two cut out on their own, bought a small plot of land, and are now enjoying making very limited cases of perhaps the best white wine in Spain’s most acclaimed blanco zone.
Our Family of Winemakers |
Wine itself is wonderful, but the stories of the families and artisans who make it are equally important. Who does not want to know more about the composer, painter, singer, or writer? This is why you will find a photo of the winemaker and the story of the estate on every bottle-connecting those who make the wine with those who enjoy it. |
