A small winery in the Sierra de Gredos making single-plot wines from old vines, many of them over a hundred years old, in Cebreros and El Tiemblo, in Ávila. They work their own plots, others they lease and those of grower friends who farm naturally, and sometimes they go further afield, as with the Rufete from a friend's vineyard in Salamanca.

Their philosophy fits in one sentence: a single ingredient, the grape. In the cellar they do just enough to accompany it, with destemming, semi-carbonic macerations, saignées and ageing in well-used barrels or steel, and they take on rarities such as a Tempranillo sun-dried for a month after harvest or an ancestral-method wine of some 40 bottles.
