THE AUTHOR

"The powerful expression of our land. A discovery of abundance that surprises, delights and blesses us. A wine resulting from our passion for life."

Bodega Tobia is an artesanal winery, which is intrinsically connected to its founder and "alma mater", Oscar Tobia and Ana Castello who together with him dinamyc team have forged this project together.

Oscar Tobia comes from a family of Riojan winemakers from San Asensio, where his grandparents have elaborated wine in a small neighborhood called, las Cuevas. After becoming an agricultural engineer, obtaining subsequent masters degrees in enology and viticulture, Oscar returned to San Asensio to recover the winery from his family. Since then, Oscar has worked hard to gain an edge in the market by introducing innovative wines which continually astonish and impress the consumer year after year.

“We must elaborated wines which take advantage of our specific soils and grapes, creating distinct and original wines, without neglecting the characteristics that make a wine Riojan wine. I believe this is an important distinction, which is why I continually look for new techniques that will result in new wines. My intention is that every year a wine will be made that surprise customers with its unique character.”

The press has described his work as "a creator and nurturer of wines of passion."
