Other notes:
- The name and logo of the winery represent three roots and are symbolic of the 3 sons of the owners.
- Minimal intervention and sustainability are cornerstones of the operation, stemming from an intention to make place-based wines that are a true expression of the and and vines they come from.
- Winemaker Aaron Huertes grew up in vineyards as a child in Rioja watching his grandfather make wine. At the age of 9 he made his first wine and at the age of 22 he graduated #1 in his class from the department of oenology at the prestigious University of Madrid. Having worked as winemaker at Finca Allende, Finca Nueva, and González Byass, he was offered a job making wine for the omnipresent consultant Michele Roland, an offer which he turned down to pursue his own path in making wine. He chose to work accept an offer to work with Tres Raices in 2022 being inspired by their dedication to making exceptional wines, framing elegantly without compromise, and supporting all aspects of the winery with equipment that supports the expression of nuance in every harvest.
