Etérea Kripán, una relación recíproca con la tierra a 900 metros de altitud 28/03/2024

Last Friday we welcomed our children's school to join us in planting over 260 trees and shrubs at our regenerative parcel in Kripan. An initiative to nurture a connection with nature and to foster a mindset of regeneration for their future. 🌍💚 Seeing them get their hands dirty and immerse themselves in this project was truly inspiring.

"Man's attitude toward nature is critically important because we have now acquired a fateful power to alter and destroy nature. But man is a part of nature, and his war against nature is inevitably a war against himself. We are challenged as mankind has never been before to prove our maturity and our mastery, not of nature, but of ourselves."
- Rachel Carson

Día 29. En cada viaje a Rioja, tenemos una parada obligatoria, visitar a .sampedro.7 , la persona con la que más hemos aprendido de esta región.

Quizás no sea tan mediático como otros productores (su carácter discreto a buen seguro tiene mucho que ver), pero para nosotros sin duda es uno de los más importantes vignerons no solo de Rioja sino de nuestro país.

Que difícil es catar más de 30 vinos en barrica y que cada uno muestre una personalidad propia y estén todos al máximo nivel. Que dificil es elaborar de forma absolutamente natural y conseguir una precisión como la que aúnan sus vinos y a la vez defender como nadie el terruño y la tradición enológica de su tierra.

Que viñedo!

Vignerons como David lo merecen todo.
