About the winemaker
"Years ago, I was co-owner of a successful wine distributor. However, in 2013, my wife and I decided to make our dream come true. and we took over a small vineyard. When we came across a domain with ancient, ungrafted Garnacha and Albillo Real vines and a granite and slate soil, we instantly fell in love. Here we work completely biodynamically, use no pesticide, only natural yeasts and harvest according to the lunar calendar."

Cebreros, Spain
Although the small village of Cebreros only managed to secure its own DOP in 2019, it is rapidly gaining popularity among wine lovers. The small area encircles just two valleys situated around one mountain range, west of Madrid. The vineyards all lie between about 700-1100 metres altitude. The soils here consist of granite and slate. These are poor soils, so the vines have to work hard. To find enough nutrition, the vines root deeply. This is also the reason why many really old vines can be found here, mostly from before the great phylloxera pandemic, all from the red Garnacha and Albillo Real grapes. All this makes for quantitatively low yields, but with a lot of concentration. In recent years, a number of dynamic winemakers have descended on the region, giving it a huge boost.

Aangename wijn, allemans vriendje, geen bijzondere karakteristiek. Teleurstellend, omdat deze wijn het wilde, rauwe, ongetemde karakter van een natuurwijn mist. Helder glas doet vermoeden dat La Viña de ayer gefilterd is. Het verhaal is mooi, maar komt niet terug in een bijzonder smaakkarakter.

Smaakvol, oxidatief karakter, complex maar wel doordrinkbaar. Net iets netter dan een de mainstream natuurwijn. Heel lekker voor bij de borrel maar ook zeker een eetwijn. Aanrader!
