Bodegas Zugober is a small-scale, family winery founded in 1987 by viticulturist Eduardo Gomez Palma, and his winemaker wife Maribel Bernardo who trained in Bordeaux. Located in the highly-prized Rioja Alavesa region, their excellent, south-facing vineyard sites are sheltered from the cool winds of the Sierra Cantabria, yielding grapes of great character and finesse. Maribel's expertise allows her to handle all the vinification meticulously and together with careful barrel-ageing, she delivers classically structured wines, combining fresh cherry-plum fruit characters with core mineral freshness and ripe tannins.
