Discover how a region marked by a population decrease from the Spanish Civil War is being transformed into a new and exciting wine-growing area on the edge of viticulture through the personal project of Juanvi Alcañiz in his hometown of Rubielos de Mora in Teruel, the southernmost province within the historic and regal area of Aragón, Spain.

Through the incredibly rare Miguel de Arco grape, along with old-vine Garnacha and Tempranillo, this project, Juanvi Viticultor, is growing at one of the highest elevation points in Spain to bottle his three special mountain wines: Rubielos de Mora, Quercus, and a special single vineyard of ancient-vine Garnacha called La Vińa de Báguena.

Juanvi shares his unique and trailblazing journey, thoughtful vineyard work and winemaking strategies, all in pursuit of showcasing the terroir and altitude of the vineyards of his home area.

This episode is for anyone interested in the craft of a winemaker charting their own course while navigating the immense challenges to make exceptional wines that narrate the story of their place of origin.
