About the producer

Clos Ibai is a project dedicated to rescuing the precious ancient vines of Rioja that are falling into disrepair. These rare old plots around Baños de Ebro are some of Spain's most unique viticultural resources. As the owners are ageing, the vineyards are failing. That's where Daniel Frias & Xabier Kamio step in. They are saving these old vines as well as planting their own vineyards in an effort to secure the legacy of this great wine-producing region.
