Liliana and Jose settled upon the tiny village of Formariz, east of Zamora, located in the Arribes del Duero Natural Park, not far from where that great river becomes the national border between Spain and Portugal. Their goal was to recreate a completely independent agrarian way of life where through hard work and minimal intervention they could live as truly artisanal wine-growers, providing their young families a wholesome, enriching and successful way of life. They farm 8 hectares of very old vines (80-120 years old) and their small winery is in a restored farmhouse.
Finding an old vineyard, new to them, of just Puesta en Cruz (Rabigato), Jose decided to keep this wine simple. Made in stainless steel and aged on lees for a short period, the wine is bursting with fresh citrus acidity and aromatics. Richness and smoky complexity comes from the lees, and results in a wine of balance and one that’s great with food.
Ecléctico, El Hato y el Garabato, Arribes del Duero, 2019
