Freshness. Balance. Elegance. They’re all the hallmarks of the remarkable wines Sandra Bravo has made her calling card at Sierra de Toloño in Rioja. Her talent has rapidly established her as one of the most exciting winemakers in the region. We talked about her time in Priorat, her love of Garnacha, her sixth sense for vineyards and why Rioja’s whites are so under-rated.
