Javier Pardo, Javi for all the partners, lives the wine with great intensity. He is part of Bodega Sierra Norte from the beginning and without him nothing would be the same, of course, neither our wines. He is a winemaker, one of the three winemakers we have in the cellar, because here things are done as a team, and wine is no exception.

In this video we approach his professional work during the most intense days of the year: the harvest. A few months in which, as he says, they disappear from the map. From the family map, of course. Since almost 24 hours pass between the vineyard and the winery, shaping what will be the next vintage :) We leave you with him!

In the cellar, everything goes through him, Jaime. Because he is responsible for the quality department, and that means controlling the entire production process. It is the figure in charge of traceability, since since the grape is harvested and until it leaves the cellar converted into wine, the control must be constant for quality reasons and, more importantly, for food safety.

International, national, regional regulations, of protected designation of origin… Everything must be taken into account, and of course, also the certifications to which we are subject to cultivate our vineyards under the criteria of organic farming and because our wines are, in addition, vegans. All this entails a series of processes, with their subsequent audits, which make Jaime’s work essential.

He himself tells us in this video in which you can meet another interesting professional profile that is in a cellar.

Pili and Carmen are the last people through which the bottles pass before leaving the winery. They are responsible for the definitive quality control of the appearance of our wines. They check that the bottle is perfect, as well as the label and the capsule, and if everything is correct, they are put in their boxes. It is an essential work and that in Bodega Sierra Norte we prefer to continue doing people instead of machines.

Pili tells us in this video what his work consists of, that he lives so much that he even takes it to the personal sphere ;)

Name, Fernando. Last name, García. By profession, official caretaker of our vineyards in La Roda, which pampers above all things. He is the field technician and controls 70 hectares of very different varieties, with which we then elaborate our wines ‘Olcaviana‘ and ‘1564‘.

He knows everything about the vineyard and it is between strains where he feels most comfortable. In addition, as he himself recognizes, the way of working the vineyard that we have in La Roda is very different from how the rest of the wineries in the area do, since we use traditional methods of cultivation and our vineyard is ecological. And that motivates him a lot.

We leave you with him, so that you know another member of our team and at the same time you see another professional profile that can be found in a winery :)

Rosa is one of the people who has spent more years in the winery and something we can highlight is her smile, always ready, her sense of humor and her desire to add and add.
