The passion I feel for the world of wine means that in addition to making new wines, I am always willing to travel and get to know areas where I can learn and be inspired. My particular world is based in Navarra and Rioja. Navarra, where the Garnatxa gives me everything and Rioja, with its countless terroirs that I am passionate about.
