Maneras De Vivir (Different ways to live)

Wines

I designed this wine when my father passed away. The pain was so strong that I had to quench this feeling of my heart. An artist paints a picture, I make wines. I woke up one day with a feeling of peace, singing this well-known song by Spanish rock singer. The cure was tolerance. People live their lives as best they can. I had to accept the way my father choosed to live and die, and also I had to accept the way I had chosen to live, without censoring myself.
I thought this feeling it was like a fight between two grapes, Bobal and Syrah. The acidity and tannin of the Bobal versus the smoothness and power of the Syrah. And the result is an elegant and complex wine with a lot to discover in its sequential steps.
This wine has been identified as one of the best Bobal wine of the world by the experts. (Jancis Robinson).

My wines and my winery are my life. I have established this company by myself, as a woman who wants to express herself through her wines. So this is the key of my success. I defend the good care of the land and the people who works it through the ecological farming. I try to communicate feelings with the help of the natural primary elements. I work with indigenous grapes and try to show their best potential in combination with the land and the climate. All wines I have produced express something of my personality, but so many people identify themselves with my message, and so I have connected with the public very well.
Since 2002 I have been working in this area. After being partner in another winery, I decided to start with my own project. It was not easy because I was a businesswoman who came from another sector, without a family with a winemaking tradition. But I wasn’t in a hurry, so every obstacle was a challenge for me.
I currently have the respect of the market and my clients are more than clients, they are a part of my life.
I obviously count with the support of a great team without them it wasn’t possible. I produce my wines in Enguera since 2011, There I have my team, my installations and part of my vineyards. I have my heart divided between two regions: Utiel and Fontanars dels Alforins. For red wines I have chosen the mountain of Utiel, the Bobal grape, and the carácter of the Atlantic climate that arrives to me through the Iberian Mountain range. For white wines I prefer the Mediterranean influence, the mineral character of his ground, the sea breeze.
