Third in our Meet Our Suppliers series: a tiny Toro winery built around a very specific philosophy  dance, live, drink.

A tiny Toro winery with a huge story  and a philosophy: dance, live, drink.

Bodegas Díez Gómez was born in the town of Toro, in Zamora, from Óscar and Laura: he obsessed with Toro's wine history and mixology, she with folklore and the Jota, Zamora's traditional dance. That mix runs through everything they make.

They farm just 12 hectares of family vineyards  planted ungrafted, on their own roots, some over 140 years old  under the influence of the river Duero, making a strictly limited number of bottles. Their two wine ranges tell the region's tale: Américo, aged in rare Spanish oak (Quercus pyrenaica), named after Americo Vespucci  granted Castilian citizenship in Toro in 1505, the man the American continent is named after. And Jota de To, aged in French oak, named after the dance, with a wine-cocktail recipe printed on every label.

Toro is one of Spain's oldest wine regions its wine was famously the first to cross the Atlantic with Columbus. This is that heritage, in the hands of two people who refuse to make anything boring.
