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.
Peace & Love Garnacha 2023 comes from a 70 year old single parcel of Garnacha grown at 600 metres on red clay and limestone near Ábalos. 2023 was a cool, late ripening vintage in Rioja, marked by slow maturation and fresh acidity. Grapes were hand harvested, 30% whole bunch, and fermented with indigenous yeasts in open concrete vats before nine months of ageing in neutral 500L barrels. The wine shows lifted red fruit, dried herbs, and savoury mineral tones, with fine tannins and a transparent expression of Garnacha from the northern edge of Rioja.
