Produced since 2004, Preta has only been released in vintages that Nature allowed. Being always the result of the balance between David and Antón io up to the vintage of 2011. This was the last vintage with David Booth, founding partner, viticul- turist and an incredible human being that left us too soon. Preta, “Cuvée David Booth” since 2013 vintage, is our best efford to produce a wine that would make David proud. This is our homage.
