Creta
Ribera del Duero | Spain
CRETA is a partnership between Eric Solomon &
Isaac Fernández Montaña. Isaac is one of the team of winemakers
working at Mariano Garcia’s family bodega, Mauro, located in Tudela
del Duero. Mariano Garcia is perhaps Spain’s greatest winemaker and,
with thirty vintages at Vega Sicilia under his belt, he is arguably
one of the finest winemakers in the world. Isaac is Mariano’s nephew
and great winemaking clearly seems to run in the family. Isaac's
philosophy is this: "I try to make wines of the highest possible
quality based on each year and look to be able to offer to them to
the world with reasonable and competitive prices. I try to respect
to the maximum the identity of the vineyards and of the grapes with
which I work, despite this it is not an impediment to be able to
develop my wines and to equip to them with an elegance that
differentiates to them from the rest."
