    A defender of organic farming and the conservation of old vineyards, the LUIS CAÑAS FAMILY is engaged in a varietal recovery project. The three wineries they own are involved in this project, with more than 40 varieties recovered. Coordinated by Rubén Jimenez, Director of Viticulture, this rescue operation received the 'BEST GROWER' mention by TIM ATKIN. He is accompanied by Jon Cañas, who will share with attendees the purpose of his family: to leave future generations a diverse viticultural heritage and a preserved natural environment. They will present the Benedicto variety, Palo Alto, as well as other wines from century-old vineyards.
