“I’ve always enjoyed being in contact with nature and the countryside. It’s wonderful being able to combine that with the world of sensations and perceptions that produces such a noble product as wine. Each place has its own expression and embodying that in a bottle involves a journey with a great team of people. This is a world where you work hard and never stop learning.”
– Andrea Calderon Vásquez, Head Winemaker at 1865
