The most incredible thing about this experience is that it's full of innovations, yet we make it simple. We explain in a straightforward way how complicated and sometimes lengthy it has been to get here and pave the way for others who have followed us.

We were pioneers in recovering grape varieties, in asking the Regulatory Council for more openness regarding oak aging, and in believing in the Garnacha variety, which was being replaced by others without giving it the value it deserves or appreciating its great capacity to adapt to our region.

We have really enjoyed discovering a whole new world in winemaking using different tanks.

And in practicing organic viticulture, and in launching a wine on the market made without sulfites.

We continue working so that when you visit us, you can discover a multitude of nuances in our wines thanks to all these processes. We look forward to seeing you. You enjoy this experience; you just don't know it yet. See you soon.

It was a real treat for us to learn about his work and Juan Carlos's explanation. He was approachable, friendly, and genuinely dedicated to what he does. His wines are carefully crafted and innovative. We loved the rediscovered grape varieties and his work and respect for viticulture. He inspires me to continue studying in the world of wine. Thank you!

Absolutely spectacular. His knowledge is invaluable. I came to him on the recommendation of one of his students and a friend. Juan Carlos is attentive, patient, and always willing to explain as many times as necessary. He's fluent in several languages, with impeccable English. My clients were delighted and eager to return to La Rioja. Congratulations on your kindness and vast knowledge. I will definitely return.

Juan Carlos is an absolute gem - incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about viticulture and winemaking. You can see the sparkle in his eyes when he talks about his craft and explains what makes his winery special. The wines we tasted were excellent and very fairly priced. Highly recommend visiting if you're in Rioja!

I give Juan Carlos Sancha a 5-star rating for the experience. We went to see the Vitis silvestris in his Hamer, and then the century-old vines in his vineyard. We learned about wine, sulfites, science, climate change, and different ways of doing things in the wine world, all in an educational and engaging way. An experience I recommend to any wine lover. At the tasting, we tried his wines AdLibitum, La Peña del Gato, and Peña la Isa, all four of which were wonderful. Then, in Logroño, at the Gastrobar Tastavin, C/San Juan 25, we were able to continue tasting other wines from Juan Carlos Sancha's winery, such as his granite barrel-aged wine, which is also wonderful. Highly recommended.

An unforgettable experience. We were fortunate to tour with Juan Carlos Sancha himself, who not only holds a PhD in oenology and is a university professor, but also deeply passionate about preserving the native varieties of La Rioja. The visit was interesting, educational, and very engaging. We learned about the unique projects he works on, including vertical farming (the only one in the region), the efforts to protect winemaking history, and the sustainable work they do in the vineyards. The wines we tasted were of the highest quality, all with personality and a reflection of the effort and location. Without a doubt, this was the best experience we've had at a winery in La Rioja. Highly recommended.

Wonderful! Those wines are so good, and the recovery of native grape varieties is so important. That white Tempranillo, La Maturana. Spectacular!
