Rico Nuevo

Rico Nuevo produces Garnacha from Castilla y León, Spain's expansive interior plateau. The region's continental climate—marked by hot summers and cold winters—shapes wines of depth and structure. The winery's portfolio centers on Garnacha, a variety that thrives in these conditions and yields wines of considerable concentration. Jirón de Niebla, Al Raso Garnacha, and Barrera de Sol form the core of the range, each expressing the grape's capacity for ripe fruit and mineral tension. These wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Falstaff, reflecting their place within Spain's serious wine conversation. Castilla y León remains one of Europe's largest wine regions, yet remains less internationally visible than its southern counterparts—a positioning that defines Rico Nuevo's character: substantive Spanish Garnacha without the premium markup of more celebrated appellations.
