Richard and Ada |
Country of Origin: Spain
Location: Bierzo
People: Richard Sanz & Ada Prada, Owners & Winemakers
Richard Sanz and Ada Prada met in oenology school and founded this small proyect
in 2004. Ada & Richard both come from dynastic winemaking families (Richard in
Rueda, Ada in Bierzo). Together, they tend to distinct plots in and outside the
village of Cacabelos that are farmed organically.
Though technically in the region of Castilla y León, Bierzo is often referred to as
the “Gateway to Galicia.” The Bierzo DO has a unique microclimate which is a
hybrid of the surrounding areas. On the one hand, it is similar to the climate of
Galicia with regard to humidity and rainfall, and on the other it is has the hot, dry
climate of Castile. This lends to wines that are more structured than the light, fruity
reds of Galicia but leaner than the powerful styles of the Duero.
