Producer Profile deAlto Rioja y Más pays tribute to our long standing love for all things Spanish: The food, the people and of course the wine… Master of Wine Giles Cooke, has led our team to craft a range that illustrates the brilliant potential of Rioja, Navarra and La Mancha as well as the quality of fruit that these regions can deliver when respectful, sustainable techniques are maintained. Drawing on the revered, in-depth knowledge of Paul Shinnie and the technical skills of Marta Juega Rivera, these wines offer a tantalising taste of contemporary Spain. Over a decade’s worth of dedication, travel and experimentation have culminated in the creation of deAlto Rioja y Más, which joins the family of Alliance-owned , Thistledown Wines in Australia and Terres Fidèles in France. Responding to the need for a more sustainable future, our wineries harness the best to produce wines that are connected by a similar spirit of adventure, experimentation, creativity and commitment to sustainable wine production.
