Goyo Garcia Viadero is making natural wines in Ribera del Duero with his wife Diana Semova Geogieva. They farm high-altitude plots of old vines, vinify in a traditional, low-intervention fashion with indigenous yeasts and without sulfur additions, and produce wines of great complexity and elegant beauty. 

This slightly orange wine is made from centenarian vines of Albillo & Malvasia, hand-harvested, destemmed, and pressed in an old-fashioned basket press. The wine is fermented with wild yeasts in steel vat with about 25 days skin contact, and then raised in the same vat on fine lees, bottled in early spring without fining, filtration or added SO2.

The Garcia Georgieva winery is a partnership between husband-and-wife winemakers Goyo García Viadero and Diana Semova Georgieva. Operating out of Ribera del Duero in Spain, they are renowned for producing elegant, natural wines that reflect traditional winemaking methods and a deep respect for their terroir. Goyo García Viadero comes from a prominent Ribera del Duero winemaking family but has chosen to follow a traditional, minimal-intervention path, rejecting modern trends like intense extraction and new oak. Inspired by natural winemakers in the Jura region, he focuses on organic farming, old vines, and letting the terroir speak for itself. Grapes are hand-harvested and undergo fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The wines are aged in old French oak barrels or stainless steel tanks in a cold, ancient Roman-era cellar dug out of limestone bedrock. No additives, fining, or filtration are used in their process.
