Mirador Iberico, meaning the Iberian viewpoint, was a project we started last year with our close friend and oenologist Carlos Rodriguez. The idea behind this project was
born out of the continued economic woes, and the purpose was to create the highest quality wine from Spain that we could be certain would retail for under $10 to the end consumer. After a visit to the U.S. last year and after tasting other Spanish wines that retail for around $10, Carlos was positive he could create such a wine.

After tasting many different samples, we feel that he has produced an incredible wine that exceeds all of our expectation as to what a $10 bottle of wine can, and should, taste like.  We hope you enjoy the wine as much as we do and hopefully it gives you, the consumer, your own personal viewpoint of the best Iberia has to offer.

Carlos, a native of Navarra, has an amazing wealth of knowledge about wine, viticulture, oenology, and the entire scope of the world of wine. When he isn’t out in the field checking the vines or tasting hundreds of barrels at the bodega, he is working on completing his thesis on Spain’s native varieties, a culmination of years of work identifying DNA of native varieties around Spain and striving to restore them.
