Rico Nuevo Viticultores

Established in 2018 by Juanan Martín, a protégé of Dani Landi (Comando G), Rico Nuevo draws on Juanan’s old family vineyards. His plots, including a remarkable 77-year-old monopole vineyard, are located in the Alto Alberche, a historic area within the Cebreros PDO that stands out for its cooler microclimate and high altitude (around 1,000 metres on average).

The vines are farmed biodynamically, and the grapes are hand-picked and vinified with a respectful, minimal-intervention approach — native yeasts, no fining or filtration — allowing the terroir to speak for itself. On these windswept, poor granitic soils, Rico Nuevo produces chiselled, fragrant wines that highlight Garnacha’s potential for elegance and freshness over sheer power.
