David Sampedro is unwavering in his winemaking vision, shunning mechanization and the relentless march of commercialization. Embracing tradition and biodynamic principles, he works meticulously and often employs horse-drawn methods, rejecting large machinery. In the cellar, wines are moved solely by gravity, eschewing pumps. Elvillar, nestled in Rioja's Alavesa subregion, benefits from its elevated position between the Ebro River and the Cantabrian Mountains, shielding the vines from inclement weather. Here, 6 hectares are cultivated, some boasting vines over a century old. With a commitment to hand-harvesting, David Sampedro's approach epitomizes a dedication to quality and heritage.
