Villalobos winery prides itself on traditional wine-making practices that highlight the individuality and character of each grape variety. They believe in letting their vines grow wild, not pruning or irrigating them and harvesting their grapes by hand. Centuries-old vines, flanked by native flora and fauna, yield small quantities of intensely flavoured fruit, which are then aged in French oak barrels to create unique, high-quality wines.
