GOOD, S 2018
is a family project in the Ribera del Duero from the Asturian viticulturist Germán R. Blanco. A SMALL PROJECT WHICH FOR NEARLY 10 YEARS NOW HAS LOOKED FOR WINES WHICH TELL US ABOUT WHERE THEY WERE BORN, a small village by the name of LA AGUILERA situated in the province of Burgos.
Starting with old vineyards of TINTO FINO (TEMPRANILLO), cultivated with an extreme respect for the milieu which surrounds us, understanding that this will be the legacy that we will leave to our descendants, we make living wines with the minimum possible intervention. The name of our cellar comes from our first child (Lucas) who is known affectionately at home as Milú. A vineyard by vineyard process (more than 40 MICRO-VINIFICATIONS every harvest), with tanks adapted to the soil of each parcel (open barrels, amphoras, oak vats.). We prefer the word infusion to extract. We have revived traditions, such as FOOT- PRESSING. There are no pre-established protocols, each harvest is unique, each wine is unique.
WE ONLY MAKE WINES FROM VINEYARDS WHICH WE CULTIVATE IN AN ORGANIC, AND MANNER.
