Solomazuelo
A single-varietal wine from a grape that’s played a definitive part in Rioja wine-making history, with Mazuelo grapes having been historically responsible for the longevity of many great Riojan wines.
“There are more and more interesting Mazuelos in Spain. This one from Javier Arizcuren in Rioja Baja upholds the fine pedigree of his previous vintage.”
- Amaya Cervera, Spanish Wine Lover -
Solomazuelo Ánfora
Wines aged in clay amphorae are much rounder and more refined than those aged in wooden barrels, and offer the purest expression of the variety.

Garnacha was the predominant grape in Rioja Baja until no more than 30 years ago and, with this single varietal, we set out to showcase its qualities in a specific location, on the northern slopes of the Sierra de Yerga.
“This is what Garnacha from Rioja Baja should be about.”
- Luis Gutiérrez Santo Domingo, The Wine Advocate -
Sologarnacha Ánfora
“With this wine, I have an educational opportunity; to showcase the characteristics of the variety, and promote it within the DO in order to counteract its decline in cultivation and uprooting of existing historic vineyards.”

Finca El Foro
A rare glimpse of the diversity that once typified Quel’s viticulture. Six different grape varieties share this plot of just 0.7 hectares, nestled on a slope of the Sierra de Yerga, at an altitude of 600m. This single-vineyard wine demonstrates how such varietal diversity can produce distinctive character in the bottle.
Barranco del Prado
This single-vineyard wine is made with Garnacha, calagraño and tinto velasco grapes from Barranco del Prado, a pre-phylloxera vineyard at 750 m above sea level, planted on ungrafted vines at the end of the 19th century by Julián's grandfather, and tended for last 60 years by Julián. This unique plot is a living testimony to the historic cultivation of Garnacha in the Yerga mountain range.
