5th gen Rioja winemaker who's been harvesting since age 6

  • Raul’s family has been manning the vineyards of Rioja for over 5 generations and he jokes that he was ‘born eating grapes’. Don’t worry, we raised an eyebrow at this too but apparently it’s a tradition in Spain to eat 12 grapes at midnight to ring in the New Year!  

  • Raul is in his element amongst the vines and hasn’t missed a single harvest since he was 6 years old. He strives to make wines that represent not only the land but also the history and traditions of the place he calls home and has a particular soft spot for Garnacha.
  • Despite winning a number of awards over the years, Raul says that the best prize will always be seeing people drinking and enjoying his wines. It just doesn’t get any better than that. Amen to that, Raul!
