Of Basque origin, but considering himself very close to French culture, Telmo Rodriguez studied wine at the Institute of Oenology in Bordeaux, before doing internships with Cos d’Estournel, Jean Louis Chave and Trevallon . He also worked in the vinification of wines from the family estate of Remelluri, in Rioja. Then, in 1990, with an investment of just a few thousand euros, he launched his own winery. He buys grapes to produce his first wines. His first plots of property did not arrive until 1997, in Rioja. Paradoxical for someone who was dying to explore new regions.<\/p>\n
One of the main principles of Telmo Rodriguez is that of respecting the Spanish tradition of cultivating the vine in goblet, because this method of managing the vine protects it from the great heat of Iberian vineyards. He is fiercely opposed to the fashion of trellising vineyards and only buys vines that respect his ideal. Telmo also works in biodynamics but, showing great common sense, he admits that he only does it for the respect of the land and that the mention of organic viticulture has no importance in his eyes. The important thing is that the result is a balanced and tasty wine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The new wine from Telmo Rodriguez, in Rueda, where he already produces the best-selling Basa. This wine is the result of Telmo’s curiosity and research to obtain the purest and most traditional Verdejo possible. Its name comes from the use of transistors in the vineyards to avoid nocturnal visits by wild boars (without physical intervention). Wine from old vines, it is aged for 9 months in oak barrels of different sizes, in tuns and in concrete. Production limited to 12,000 bottles (numbered).<\/p>\n
