Una experiencia increíble!!

Rate: 5 out of 5 8/1/25

La experiencia fue increíble en todos los sentidos. La cercanía y profesionalidad de Juan Carlos que nos hizo una visita muy didáctica y entretenida, la excepcionalidad de sus viñedos centenarios, descubrir la Vitis silvestri y por supuesto la cata final con sus vinos fue estupenda.

Super recomendable.

A Taste of Passion in Every Glass

Rate: 5 out of 5 7/1/25

This was an unforgettable experience. As someone who had never been to a vineyard before, I didn’t know what to expect — but Juan Carlos exceeded every possible expectation. His passion for winemaking is contagious, and you can feel it in every story he shares and every sip you take. The wines were incredible, the setting was breathtaking, and the entire experience felt authentic and personal.

Highly recommend it to anyone looking for more than just a tasting — this is a journey into the heart of wine itself.
Todo perfecto

Einzigartiges Weingut

Rate: 5 out of 5 4/1/25

Der Besuch war für uns eine tolle Erfahrung. Wir haben viel über den Wein dessen Anbau in der Region erfahren.
Das Weingut verfolgt eine für uns ebenso sympathische Philosophie wie dessen Besitzer. Und auch die Weine sind sehr besonders und haben uns super geschmeckt. Es war für uns ein absolutes Highlight auf der Reise durch Rioja.
Wir werden demnächst auf jeden Fall Wein zu uns bestellen und nehmen tolle Erfahrungen mit.

About Winery and Wines

Bodegas Juan Carlos Sancha, located in the cool climate of Rioja Alta, is renowned for its innovative and sustainable approach to winemaking. Founded by Juan Carlos Sancha, a professor of enology at the University of La Rioja, the winery focuses on recovering and cultivating minority grape varieties that had nearly disappeared. Situated in the Najerilla Valley, on five hectares of land, Bodegas Juan Carlos Sancha specializes in organic, artisan wines made from rare grapes such as Tempranillo Blanco, Maturana Tinta, and Maturana Blanca. These varieties, rediscovered and developed by Sancha and his colleague Fernando Martinez de Toda, bring a fresh perspective to the traditional winemaking of Rioja. The winery’s deep commitment to sustainability, combined with its artisanal methods and innovative vision, results in wines that express the unique terroir of the region. Visitors can experience a true connection to Rioja’s winemaking history and future through each bottle crafted with care and passion.

Bodegas Juan Carlos Sancha offers three distinct wine lines, each reflecting the vineyard’s commitment to quality and originality. The "Ad Libitum" range features varietal expressions of rare grapes, including the fresh and aromatic Tempranillo Blanco, the barrel-fermented Maturana Blanca, and the robust, French oak-aged Maturana Tinta. The "Peña El Gato" series highlights Garnacha from century-old vines, including a natural version without sulfur and a unique collection of Garnacha from different terroirs. These wines are known for their depth, elegance, and powerful expression of terroir. Lastly, the "Cerro La Isa" line is made from vineyards planted in 1906, offering singular wines with great complexity, such as the barrel-fermented white blend and a 100% Garnacha aged in premium French oak. Each wine from Bodegas Juan Carlos Sancha is a tribute to the rare varieties and ancient vines of Rioja Alta, combining tradition with innovation to produce wines of exceptional character.
