MacRobert & Canals

MacRobert & Canals has arisen from the intention to produce artisanal wines in La Rioja which reflect the landscape in every glass. Its founder, Bryan MacRobert, a South African by birth, was brought up among vineyards and studied viticulture and oenology. He spent many years travelling from Swartland in South Africa to the Priorat, learning how to understand vineyards and make unique wines. He gradually became won over by Rioja wines and began to look for vineyards in that vicinity. He found a very special spot in Logroño and decided to start up his own venture there: Laventura Wines.

He began, as usual, by concentrating his main efforts on the vineyard, cultivating the land according to organic principles and giving it his full attention. His intervention regarding the plants is limited to the strictly necessary and his respect for the environment is uncompromising. In the winery, he works with large-size barrels and materials that show due consideration to the grape, such as concrete, which enable him to preserve the fruit's aromatic purity. Thanks to his hard work, some very special wines have ensued, with a strong personality and sensational elegance.
