BODEGAS LAN

As chief winemaker and technical director for one of Spain’s most celebrated wineries, Barúa is the driving force behind Bodegas LAN. Eschewing the use of chemical herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers in the vineyards, she prioritizes the health and vitality of the soils, the air, and the people who work there. Her iconoclastic use of French and Spanish oak shatters the norm of relying solely on American barrels in Rioja.
