Castilla La Mancha, to the South West of Madrid in the very heart of Spain, has traditionally been known for producing vast quantities of table wine and about half of all Spanish grapes are grown here. While most vineyards lie at 500-700m on sandy, calcareous and clayey soils. The region itself has 9 DOs which, since the 80s, have really taken advantage of new technology to greatly improve the quality and freshness of the wines.
Uva de Vida (“The Grape of Life”) was founded in 2012 by Carmen López Delgado and her husband Luiz Ruiz Martín in Santa Olalla, 50km west of Toledo. The 9-hectare estate is dedicated to biodynamic farming, centering on Graciano - an uncommon variety in the region. For Carmen, biodynamics is a philosophy rather than an end goal, fostering a thriving ecosystem where flowers, insects, olive trees, and even grazing goats coexist in harmony. She believes in pure, unadulterated winemaking, avoiding filtration, clarification, or added sulfites, which she calls “an atomic bomb” for wine. Uva de Vida is certified organic and Demeter biodynamic, using no copper or sulfur in the vineyard. The wines are crafted with minimal intervention, expressing the land’s true character with elegance, freshness, and structure. The winery is a member of the prestigious biodynamic association La Renaissance des Appellations, chaired by Nicolas Joly.
