5 - I liked both the shape of the bottles and the design of the labels. And who is the author of your design?
Yes, both the idea and the design of all the labels and images of the winery are mine
6 - This is not to say that you have cheap wines. But Garnatxa del Po costs 120 euros per bottle. Is this price due to a small circulation?
The price is marked by its exclusivity worldwide, there is only one ... worldwide. In addition, its elaboration is very careful and laborious since it is buried 2 meters deep underground in the vineyard, the cork used for this is the most expensive in the market, its packaging is also very careful and original, since its individual box is of clay made one by one manually by a craftsman potter. only 85 bottles sold almost all before coming to light.

Each wine has its personal touch and they are worked differently, not only the varieties, but also the techniques used in both the vineyard and the winery

11 - What white wine producer (from Spain or another country) would you recommend for Yellow Road?

In my cellar are the best sculptures ... they are the old tools that my ancestors used to work the vineyard.
