A rising star winemaker from Northern Spain
Francisco Barona’s father, grandfather, and great grandfather were vine growers, so it was only natural for Francisco to study winemaking in Bordeaux, followed by harvests in France, the USA and South Africa. Returning home to Ribera del Duero, northern Spain, in 2010 he purchased his first vineyard at the age of just 25. Today, Francisco has 48 hectares of very old vines planted in Roa, La Horra, Anguix, La Aguilera and Boada de Roa. Whilst neither organic nor biodynamic by certification, Francisco runs his vineyards on holistic principles and follows lunar influences, just as previous generations did. Very little sulphur or copper is used, and the only intervention comes in August when Francisco removes excess bunches from the vines to ensure maximum ripeness.
