Additional Information: Australian born (from Spanish parents) Daniel Ramos, known as ‘Kapi’ or ‘El Capitan’’ to his friends (and the ‘Garnacha whisperer’ to those that have tasted his wines!) and partner Pepi San Juan embarked upon the ‘Daniel Ramos’ project in 2005 with the aim of showing the best of the grapes in the Cebreros area. They have owned their own winery since 2013, based in El Tiemblo. Many of the vineyards purchased had been abandoned for many years as were a hostile farming environment due to the steepness of the slopes. However, Daniel’s passion for viticulture and drive has saved and brought back some of the oldest, and best vineyards in the area resulting in some excellent and rather special wines. Making the wines with minimal intervention, grapes are from two old vineyards; Maranones and Valdehornos. A bit of skin contact during whole-bunch fermentation, plus ageing in old oak barriques, before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. The Labels are made by the local wind - Viento Zephyros - freely moving a pen, suspended from a vine.
