Peninsula Vinicultores Description
Península Vinicultores makes high-elevation, old-vine wines from vineyards at risk of being abandoned in the Sierra de Gredos and other historic growing areas in the Sistema Central, the mountain chain that bisects the Iberian Peninsula. From a bird’s eye view, Península is a winery and vineyard management company that encompasses all four Spanish brands in our portfolio: Bideona, Mayela, Península, and Bodegas Fontana. The Península label itself is made up of a white (‘Vino Atlántico’) and a red field blend (‘Vino de Montaña’).
Península Vinicultores was founded by two Masters of Wine: Andreas Kubach MW, leads production and Sam Harrop MW directs viticulture. Andreas, raised in Brazil and Spain by German parents, and Sam, a native New Zealander, bring a new-wave, international perspective to the Spanish wine landscape.
‘Vino de Montaña’ is a red field blend from Sierra de Gata in northern Extremadura, close to the Portuguese border. The vines are on small hillside terraces of blue granite, surrounded by chestnut and pine woods. Each year, the Sierra de Gata complement is complemented with Garnacha from the village of Cadalso de los Vidrios in Sierra de Gredos. The high altitude offers a very pure expression of mountain Garnacha that is delicate yet complex. Península’s aim is to contribute to the preservation of the parcels of old vines that still exist in the Sistema Central by building market access for these vineyards, thus making them economically viable for their grower partners.
