Camelopard, Cuenca, Spain

Camelopard is the more traditional English expression for ‘giraffe’. The label, on the other hand, features a modernized and more fun logo that does not go unnoticed. As Bodegas Albero works on the vineyard with ancient and modern winemaking techniques, the image of this wine combines old and new in a fun way.

Bodegas Albero began its journey in 2014 and is a family project, the initiative of three siblings who inherited their passion for wine and agriculture from the generations of growers who came before them.

As one of the very few wineries located in the Ribera del Júcar Denomination of Origin, they have made it their mission to bring the unique and undiscovered wines from this region to the international spotlight. This unknown region offers the terroir distinctive qualities that set it apart from other nearby appellations, from the cooler climate to the lighter yields.

Honoring that heritage means a great deal to them, which is why they named their winery Bodegas Albero: the colour from the first lights of the sun, the meaningful moments they shared after night-harvesting and seeing the beautiful sunrise on the landscapes of Cuenca.

With its unique soil and climate, Casas de Guijarro was both an informed and easy choice. It was also a perfect place to implement their organic farming vision. Their winery is committed to organic cultivation, as they consider it to be the closest thing to "traditional" growing.

Organic, family owned, indigenous grapes, female winemaker, and carbon certified.
