Imanol Garay, originally from San Sebastián, feels at home wherever he can see his mountains. His winemaking journey began by carefully selecting grapes from both sides of the Pyrenees, in both France and Spain. Over time, he started planting his own vines, step by step.

A cooper in a former life, Imanol travelled across France, tasting widely, absorbing inspiration, and honing his unique vision. Guided by instinct, he listens to his vines and the energy they release.

His wines are deeply personal, vibrant, and full of soul; just like the man himself.
A truly endearing winemaker-artist.
