The Winery: Finca la Estramancia
Finca La Estramancia was born from the dream of Gerardo Torres, who after appreciating the art of vine cultivation in the Rhine River area in Germany, decides to transform his property into a vineyard, located on the slopes of the Sleeping Woman hill in Ribera South of Chapala, thus contributing to create a wine zone in the region.
Coincidentally, he meets Mr. Serapio in San Luis Soyatlán, Jalisco, who had begun to experiment with grape cultivation in the area.
Upon retiring from his law career, Mr. Torres started in 2011 with his first hundred Tempranillo plants. To date, he cultivates 7,000 plants, mainly Malbec, Tempranillo and Syrah, in the farm that he installed at the foot of the lake and named Finca La Estramancia.
During 2015, he sought modernization to transform the crops into a vineyard that would produce quality wines. A Queretaro winemaker and close friend of the owner, he was the contact with the engineer Trinidad Jiménez, current agronomist at Finca la Estramancia, who manages several vineyards in Mexico.
In 2017, the vinification of the first grapes from Finca La Estramancia began. Engineer Lluís Raventós Llopart, director of Freixenet de México, is the oenologist in charge of the process.
