Javier is the 5th generation of a family of winemakers from Laguardia, one of the most privileged places in Rioja Alavesa. He was only 17 when he realized his 1st self-produced wine in his father's cellars. In 2013 he decided to start his own project, Bodegas Javier San Pedro Ortega. His wines are divided into 3 different families. Cueva de Lobos are modern, contemporary and pleasure-driven wines that are made to charm and seduce. With only modern and quality wines in mind, Javier completely separates himself from the classic, old(er) Rioja style. His wines are jewels that guarantee enormous class and drinking pleasure.
