Elaborating the most extraordinary wines, the visionaries behind Tabares4
Discover the skilled individuals who orchestrate the vineyard's magic
Pedro Jorge and his best friend Antonio planted the first vineyard of La Vice. They did not elaborate their own wines, they sold their crop/grapes to the cooperative.
When we took over the vineyard in 2019, we immediately decided to elaborate our wines ourselves.
Therefor we engaged José Augusto Cabrera Galvan and his team, as field oenologists, and Ricardo Gutiérrez de Salamanca Perez as our onologe de bodega.
Both men have an experience and passion of more than 30 year each in their part of the work. They won titles all over, not only for their own wines, but very often as well for the different bodegas they are/were working for.
What we have in common with Beethoven...
Elaborating wine is like composing a symphony
we live day and night in the vineyard itself, we here the sound of music, created by nature itself, every moment of the day, 24/7. It brings us really back to Earth, both feet on the ground. We learned from our older neighbors how traditional wines were made, without any human interaction with the wine itself, as leaving it up to nature, to decide when fermentation starts, if the wine goes into malolactic or not...
We were not aiming to have more acres of land, but Nature and neighbors gave us the opportunity to grow more rapidly than expected.
Around the bodega itself, we cultivate now a block of land of 4,5ha. Apart from that, we rent about 3ha more in other areas of Tenerife, especially because we know now where the best autochtone varieties grow, and where these varieties grow the best.
Every morning we wake up with new ideas, new elements that fit perfectly together in our own symphony..
