De la Riva, founded in 1858, has regained its momentum thanks to Ramiro Ibáñez and Willy Pérez from 2017, two oenologists who have breathed new life into the Jerez tradition.

Focusing on unfortified white wines and historic soleras, they have reinvented the estate while remaining true to its roots.

The Macharnudo vineyard, is the heart of De la Riva, known for its pure chalk albariza soils that bring exceptional minerality to the wines.

Located in the heart of the Jerez Triangle, Macharnudo benefits from the Atlantic climate and the Levante and Poniente winds, which moderate temperatures. This natural context contributes to the finesse and complexity, resulting in intense and well-balanced wines.

Choosing De la Riva means embracing a history where tradition and innovation come together to create unique tasting experiences.
