WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Guv'nor VIP is a non-vintage red wine produced by Félix Solís Avantis. Its creation is centered around a deliberate cross-regional blending strategy, primarily using the Tempranillo grape sourced from three of Spain's most renowned northern wine regions: Rioja, Ribera del Duero, and Toro. The harvest is conducted by hand, ensuring the selection of high-quality fruit. Following harvest, the wines undergo aging in American oak barrels, which contributes to the wine's structure, complexity, and characteristic flavor notes. The winemaking philosophy for this wine emphasizes winemaker autonomy, allowing them to blend components from different terroirs to achieve an optimal taste profile, unbound by traditional appellation regulations. This approach positions The Guv'nor VIP as a modern expression of Spanish red winemaking.
