Peninsula Vinicultores
Península Vinicultores is a Spanish winery project founded by Masters of Wine Andreas Kubach and Sam Harrop, focusing on high-elevation, old-vine wines from at-risk vineyards in the Sierra de Gredos and Sistema Central mountains. The initiative revives abandoned or threatened plots with indigenous varieties, prioritizing terroir expression over stylized winemaking, and follows sustainable, organic practices.
As early members of Spain’s “Wineries for Climate Protection,” they emphasize renewables, low emissions, and chemical-free methods, producing transparent, vegan-friendly wines.
