Juan Carlos López de Lacalle is the owner and one of the leaders in winemaking in Spain. The winery began its existence as a cooperative of 13 producers with plots around the town of Laguardia in Rioja Alavesa, a sub-region of appeal Rioja, in the Basque Country. Today it represents 83 hectares, mainly on clay and limestone soils. The winery is modernly equipped, and the emphasis is on making wines with a pronounced fruity character and individuality for each plot. The use of French instead of American oak allows the local Tempranillo variety to be fully revealed. Juan Carlos has a great respect for terroir, respects traditions and inextricably pursues one goal - making wines with an inimitable character, in which the feeling of the fruit and the elegant tannins are impressive.
