• Tasting Rioja Alavesa: Viñedos y Bodegas de la Marquesa – Valserrano

For example, we visited a vineyard containing stone foundations from medieval wine presses located not far from Bodegas Ysios. If the landscape contains contradiction the families and wines do not.

• September Winestudio: Codorníu – A Family Tradition

  

  As children we all loved a good fairy tale. The story of young forbidden love kept apart by some evil adult.
