Wii Gonzalo Gonzalo is considered quite a character and is certainly determined. They had an idea to make low interference wine and set off to numerous banks where they were refused loans as wine was not considered a ‘impoundable assets’. Their determination and drive led them to friends and family and in the end they were able to turn their ideas to reality. As a little nod to the many bankers who refused their dreams, we have Gran Cerdo, literally ‘big pigs’ in English.

In Gran Credo Tinto, Wii has delivered a Tempranillo that is juicy and rich (did you hear that bankers)? Whole bunch fermentation with no filtration or fining and minimal sulphur.
