SPAIN<br />
– DESIGNATION –<br />
Members of the Porcioles-Buixó family<br />
same year that the Olympic Games were held for the first<br />
time in Spain (Barcelona, 1992). The Porcioles-Buixó<br />
family acquired the property that is home to the winery<br />
in that same year. After 6 years, the first vineyards were<br />
planted and in 2005 the first grapes were harvested and<br />
the first wines were produced: Alto Siós, Viña Siós red<br />
and rosé. In 2014, 22 years after starting the project, the<br />
sparkling wines Siós Brut Blanc de Noirs and Siós Brut<br />
Rosé were produced.<br />
Out of choice, these wines do not come under the Cava<br />
D.O. so obviously none of the changes introduced<br />
last year to the appellation have implied any direct<br />
changes for them. At Costers del Sió, as winemaker<br />
María Mendoza said, “we are proud to make quality<br />
sparkling wine under the Costers del Segre appellation”.<br />
As she said, the new regulations “are not relevant for our<br />
products”. In fact, here, the belief is that they will make<br />
marketing more difficult.<br />
