Bodegas Abanico really began in the autumn of 2006 when Rafael and Nuria decided to make their own wine in Celler Batea, Terra Alta. At the time, we had a New Zealand winemaker working for us and we thought we could create something special from the old vine Garnacha and Syrah in Terra Alta. The resulting wine Las Colinas del Ebro and has since developed into a successful brand in its own right. More than anything, this experience showed us that we could improve on what was currently being produced by wineries in terms of wine quality and packaging, and create a product unique to us.
