I am excited to announce our appointment as National Importer for Gomez Cruzado.*
This iconic estate, established in 1886 and located in El Barrio de la Estación de Haro, has revived and built upon its legacy in recent years, earning it the respect of critics in Spain and throughout Europe. Having recently tasted several vintages and across the range of wines they make, I was amazed at how one property could capture and bottle Rioja’s soulful tradition as perfectly as its exciting terroir-focused future. So, when they expressed interest in joining Indigo Wine/Eric Solomon Selections, I was honored to accept this rare opportunity.
Just last week, Luis Gutiérrez published his review for Rioja, remarking of Gomez Cruzado, “I tasted a stunning collection of wines from 2021.” This only confirms and rightfully recognizes Gomez Cruzado's commitment to their legacy and the discovery of Rioja’s long-hidden site-specific wines.

Everything old is new again at Celler del Roure. Not only has Pablo Calatayud rescued Mandó from obscurity, if not extinction, but he's restored his 17th-century subterranean cellar with its intact amphorae. Whether it is his take on Monastrell with his Vins Classics, his ancestral Vins Antics aged in amphorae, or his playfully pink Les Filles d'Amalia range, each wine from Roure is unique, vibrant, and persistent in its balance of fruit and savory elements. All can be from no other place than Moixent in Valencia.
