"De La Riva": A Reborn Jerez Legend and a Return to Historical Roots

The history of "De La Riva" began back in 1858 when Manuel Antonio de la Riva founded a highly regarded winery in Jerez. Although over the years this name was absorbed by large corporations and nearly faded into oblivion, a true turning point occurred in 2017. Two of perhaps the most prominent visionaries and winemakers of modern Jerez, Ramiro Ibáñez and Willy Pérez, brought the "De La Riva" legend back to life.

Today, this project is not just a winery; it is a true manifesto. Instead of following the industrialized and standardized Sherry path, the creators turned back to the region's deepest traditions. The core of their philosophy revolves around historical vineyards, ancient winemaking practices, and a unique sense of terroir. By dedicating special attention to legendary Jerez zones such as Macharnudo and Balbaína, they boldly prove that the region's land can speak not only through fortified wines but also through profoundly serious, terroir-driven unfortified dry whites.
