After years of creating Leon’s benchmark, winemaker Pedro Mittelbrunn threw caution to the wind to follow his dream to help revive Leon’s local grapes, Prieto Picudo and Albarin, gaining him the name of Pedro Prieto Picudo.
He convinced the region’s best farmers to partner with him in the winery in addition to buying up specific plots to replant with Albarin, the region’s white varietal and Prieto Picudo, the region’s big flavoured superstar red varietal. This relatively new project is most definitely up and coming and offers the world of wine something quite different.
This brave pioneer of modern Prieto Picudo, is the only producer in the world to produce certified organic Prieto Picudo and Albarin. The winery prides itself on being a leading light in sustainable wineries and has implemented several energy and water saving techniques.
