About The Wine Love

Headed by the two free-spirits, Gonzalo Gonzalo and Mar Mota. Gonzalo Gonzalo was born in Logroño, the capital city of La Rioja, Spain. His family’s vineyards, where he spent a great deal of his childhood, are just west of there in the town of Fuenmayor. He says that he was raised among the grape vines there. After finishing university, where he studied biology and oenology, he was able to travel and come in contact with a number of smaller winemakers in France and Italy, where he learned about new grape varieties and methods of production. Upon returning to Spain, Gonzalo Gonzalo worked as a winemaker in a large, industrial winery briefly before leaving it in 2003 to pursue his personal desire to create natural wines.
