Known for his organic wines, Rodolfo has taken out the Valenican Wine Association 'Winemaker of the Year' title.

  • Rodolfo Valiente is a fourth-generation winemaker from a long line of grape-growers, distillers and winemakers. With winemaking in his blood, he had an itch to be in the vineyard, so it was no surprise when he ditched is big city lawyer job to follow his dream.

  • Despite his family's connections, he took himself on a mission to learn the trade, spending vintages in Spain and California understanding the process, from tending to the vines to bottling the wines. In 1999, armed with a wealth of wine knowledge, his transfer from the corporate world to sun-drenched vineyards was complete and Rodolfo made his first commercial wine from the family's vineyard.

  • The Valencian Association of Winemakers appointed Rodolfo as their 'Winemaker of the Year' in 2017 for his concentrated but elegant, mature but fresh organic wines.
