RED DEL VINO

GILBERTO LÓPEZ ARIAS

Gilberto is a founding partner of the Red del Vino (6th region). In 1977, he arrived to the area with his wife María and their eleven children.

During the Agrarian Land Reform, they worked as a community on the farm where they lived. The community was large and the farm was not able to provide for everyone so Gilberto applied for government benefits since their family was so large. They grew wheat, beans, potatoes and corn.

There was also a vineyard planted there but they had no experience growing vines so they had to adapt and learn to work the land. In 1978, they were able to produce their first harvest.

Today they produce Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes on 10.8 hectares.
