G&V Y lo otro también Tempranillo

G&V Y lo otro también Tempranillo is a natural red wine made with the Tempranillo red variety in barrels by Garcia and Valencia in La Rioja.

Esmeralda García and Joan Valencia are two winemakers who love sulphite-free wines, so they joined forces to set up this winery and begin making 100% natural wines in different Spanish wine regions. These are unconventional wines made with minimal intervention.

G&V Y lo otro también Tempranillo comes from vines planted in clay-calcareous soil. They are cultivated using environmentally friendly agriculture, with no herbicides, pesticides or chemical products. Instead, they use natural substitutes to maintain the natural balance of the strain and the terroir. The grapes are harvested manually.

The grapes used to make the G&V Y lo otro también Tempranillo wine are partially destemmed and left to macerate with their skins for 3 weeks. Fermentation takes place spontaneously with native yeasts and no temperature control. Finally the wine ages in clay jars for 6 months.

With a focus on not masking a wine’s natural characteristics, G&V Y lo otro también Tempranillo is a lively natural red wine that showcases the Tempranillo variety at its most playful.
