About the Producer
Javier Sanz Viticultor has been in the Sanz family for 5 generations of winemakers for over 150 years. Their philosophy is rooted in the conservation of pre-phylloxera vineyards, local grape varieties, and the recovery of varieties that have almost become extinct.
With a passion for the land and with the ethos to intervene as little as possible in the winemaking process. The Verdejo grape, with its great personality, is grown with sustainable winemaking practices in the ancient gravelly pebbles of the Rueda landscape, an area famous for its continental climate with a large diurnal temperature (that’s the difference between night and day temperatures) range and low humidity.
Laticia, Javier’s daughter and next generation caretaker of the vines, is driving sustainable change towards a more organic (accredited) winery whilst preserving the family ethos.
