Jorge Caus-Pertegaz's Story
Jorge Caus-Pertegaz's Story
"I was born in the heart of Valencia City, surrounded by buildings, a lot of cars and asphalt. No vineyards were around me. Because of this and also because I like wine I decided to go outside the city and to discover Spanish Vineyards. The rest is history!
After a period of training in Valencia and California I went back home and I began my work in La Vi�a, first as a manager for Quality and currently as a Technical Manager. La Vina is located in the charming village of Fuente La Higuera, literally �Fountain of The Fig Tree", some 100 km south of Valencia City on Spain�s Mediterranean coast.
Although I am the head winemaker in a huge winery, my personal passion is going into a pet project...to show that Valencia can make wines to compete with the best of Rioja.
What do I love about being a winemaker? Well, I get to drink lots of wine for free! And I get to work with something that makes life more enjoyable."
