Juan Carlos Sancha

Juan Carlos Sancha has been involved in world wine for more than 20 years. He has worked in several wineries in Rioja and teaches at the University of La Rioja. In 2008, he decided to start this little project. Concurrently, he continues working at the University of La Rioja and he also advises and assists a number of wineries around Spain.

This tiny project is based in Organic Viticulture, working in the vineyard and in the winery to produce wines which are as natural, true to the terroirs and healthy as possible. They have achieved this through the elimination of pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers in the vineyard with the goal of restoring the vineyards to their natural complexity and ability to fight diseases, and also to promote the proper growth of the vine.

Their winemaking philosophy is based in a minimal intervention in all stages of the process. They try to preserve the purity and clearness of their carefully selected grapes. They belong to the family of “Garage Cellars” looking for personal, elegant and powerful wines.
