About: La Bodega de Juan Romero is located in the oft-neglected Extremadura region of Spain. The estate was first established to produce wine to be sold exclusively to the family bar in the 1950s. With every subsequent generation, the Romero family found a way to stand out in a sea of conventional grape growing. In the 1970s they expanded their vineyards by mixing indigenous varietals such as Cayetana Blanca with experimental plantings such as Gewürztraminer. Then, in the 1990s, they converted to organic farming, a rarity in Extremadura even today.
In recent years, winemaker and owner Juan Leandro Romero has become more and more interested in natural wine and launched PRELVM, a line of natural wines spontaneously fermented and aged in locally-crafted clay amphorae and made according to non-interventionist concepts: no filtering or fining, nor any added sulfur. He is blazing a trail in a region that deserves our attention!
