Miguel Merino

Miguel Merino founded the estate in Briones; the first vintage was vinified in 1994. Since 2017, his son Miguel Merino and Érika Du Baele have jointly continued the vineyard and cellar work. The estate farms around 14 hectares in numerous small parcels with different soils and exposures. The vines are tended and harvested by hand; no herbicides are used, and some older parcels are farmed with horses. In the cellar, the grapes are selected, destemmed and fermented under temperature control. ([miguelmerino.com](https://www.miguelmerino.com/))
