Winemaker's Story
"The Flying Bicycle" is Germán Blanco's new project in Rioja Baja. With the help of fellow oenologist Javier Collio, Germán sources fruit from certified organic vineyards in the Navarra part of the appellation. The vineyards are dry-farmed with an average age of thirty-five years, grown in a mix of clay and limestone. Following the Milú philosophy of "happy wines made from happy grapes," the grapes are de-stemmed and fermented at cold temperature from native yeasts. A slight maceration before the end of fermentation creates a delicate and fresh wine. No oak is used, and the wine stays in concrete tanks for five to six months.
Perfect Pairings
Grilled meats, rich stews, aged cheeses, roasted vegetables, and pasta with tomato-based sauces. Serve slightly chilled for best results.

Is the new project from Germán R. Blanco in the Rioja. A project built from the ground upwards, with humility and patience, which started with its rst harvest in 2015. The philosophy dictating how we work is the same as that which we use in Quinta Milú, Casa Aurora and San Esteban: organic viticulture and minimum intervention in the cellar with the aim of bottling landscapes from our perspective.
In this Rioja-based project we are able to count on the indispensable help of Javier Colio. An experienced Navarran winemaker and old friend of Germán R. Blanco. The decision to get involved in the Navarran part of the D.O. Ca. Rioja is based on Javier ́s intimate knowledge of the region.
We look for agreements with grape growers who have Organic Certification and who are willing to accept our terms and quality criteria. This is the first time that we have made wines from grapes which we have not grown ourselves.
A modern style Rioja, unoaked and aromatic, with fresh red fruit mixed with floral notes. It is fresh and fruity in the mouth with good acidity.
