In this podcast, Telmo Rodriguez transports us through time, sharing how the vibrant spirit of the land beckoned his family to the winegrowing tradition against any logic in the 1960's at the iconic family estate called Remelluri. The tale unfolds, revealing ancient roots, a learning journey uncovering the nearly lost terroirs of Spain and contemporary resurgence as we peer into Telmo's captivating history and the familial bonds entwined with the land that inspired him.
It's a story of homecoming and heritage, of navigating the complex choreography of family-run winery dynamics, all while ushering in an era of newfound recognition revealing the treasure that is Remelluri, a rare organic and mountainous Rioja estate.
We explore the wine industry's new interest in village-specific Rioja. It's here we uncover the burgeoning appreciation for wines truly reflective of their terroir in Rioja forging ahead against the powerful market of generic Rioja, much like the celebrated artisans of Grower Champagne fighting the battle against the big houses.
Do you know where your Rioja is from?
A very important question that will decide the future in Rioja and is being answered through the work of Telmo, the growers, the next generation that is inspired to create a new narrative, and those that share the Porrón.
