“Great wines are also possible with a true ecological approach”
Elias Redondo (owner)
Near the old town of Olmedo, we find this amazing winery, which was born a few years ago from the passion of its founders for ecological agriculture, based on respect for environment and improvement to the ecosystem. The winery owners pride themselves in having successfully implemented this philosophy while achieving a great quality product. They collaborate with a number of NGOs in specific projects of ecosystem preservation and improvement, including bird monitoring. The organic development of their wines responds to a form of winemaking based on the natural evolution of the grape characteristics. Caraballas is a terroir wine, which was born from the desire of recovering a vineyard, a natural space for the elaboration of wine through the most radical respect for ecology. This D.O. Rueda wine is the transcription of a vineyard and the future of the authentic Cerdejo. Modernity and tradition are assembled in an author’s verdejo. The winery produces only two wines - Caraballas Verdejo and Caraballas Semi Dulce. Verdejo is a wine with a great power of expression that accurately reflects the vineyard where it was first dreamed, with an undeniable personality. Not to mention the care they take with all the products they use, like FSC certified natural corks in collaboration with FSC cork Organic Wine and WWF Spain, contributing this way to the responsible management of Mediterranean cork forests.
