La Rebusca takes its name from an ancient tradition: collecting the grapes that remained after the harvest, forgotten on the vines. These grapes were gathered by those who did not own land,
typically the humble people of the villages, to make their own wine at home. This simple, meaningful act inspires a wine that honors the recovery and preservation of the essential.
In this modern version, La Rebusca is a singlevarietal wine of Tinto Fragoso, a unique and almost extinct variety that we have rescued to show its great potential. It is highly characteristic, with a very marked varietal profile. This rustic and resilient red grape is perfectly adapted to climate change, offering fresh, long-lived wines with structure and an unparalleled identity.
