The houses behind the wines
The houses we work with were not chosen because they resemble one another, but because they do the opposite: the same island, the same grape, entirely different answers. Here they are one by one — who they are, how they work, and which wines we carry from them.
A young winery · Four wines
Althay
Young and uncompromising. A few thousand bottles a year from old ungrafted vines, spontaneously fermented.
About the house — Althay
Founded 1775 · San Bartolomé · Five wines
El Grifo
Founded in 1775 and one of the ten oldest wineries in Spain, still in family hands, in the middle of La Geria.
About the house — El Grifo
Family-run · Three wines
Bodegas Bermejo
Precision and salt. Malvasía and Listán Negro from the plots nearest the coast, where the sea sits in the wine.
