Description
Santiago Reta is the man behind the Rhône-infused, garagiste label Finca La Escarcha. His 64-acre vineyard is dedicated to the voluminous, aromatic whites and the dark, earthy reds of southern France. Santiago is a purposeful farmer and vintner; soil composition and variation determined the layout of his vineyard as well as specific farming approaches.
The winery, designed by architect and wife, Carolina, handles Santiago’s 1,000 case production and appeals perfectly to his sensibilities as a winemaker; concrete eggs, a small barrel room and a couple of stainless steel tanks are the essential elements in the minimalist, but well considered space. His wines demonstrate a skilled rhythm of acid, elegance, fruit and persistence.
