Jade Gross was born in Hong Kong and began her career as a chef, working at Mugaritz where she led the R&D team before turning to wine. After studying in Paris and London, she moved to Rioja in 2018, apprenticing under Abel Mendoza and Maite Fernández in San Vicente de la Sonsierra. Her cellar is based in San Vicente, working mainly with high altitude, old bush vine parcels in Rioja Alta and Alavesa on clay limestone soils. Farming is organic and minimal intervention, fermentations are spontaneous, often with whole bunches, and élevage takes place in used barrels or concrete to preserve clarity. Her aim is to express the landscape through restrained, site driven wines that move away from oak dominated Rioja typicity.
Harrobia 2022 comes from a blend of old bush vines in Labastida, on sandy marl with streaks of chalk at 550 metres. The warm 2022 season brought full phenolic ripeness balanced by diurnal freshness. The wine is 100% Tempranillo, fermented with 40% whole clusters in open top vats, followed by ageing for 11 months in old French barrels. It captures Rioja’s traditional depth with a new school transparency, dark cherry and crushed stone notes with fine, persistent tannins and a savoury finish.
