Quinta Milú is young winemaker Germán R. Blanco’s tiny operation in the small town of La Aguilera, in the province of Burgos. Blanco calls his estate a “micro winery” and eschews modern winemaking techniques and international varieties. From old Tempranillo vines, he makes wines aged in different types and sizes of casks and barrels. Unlike 99% of other wineries in Ribera del Duero, no two vintages of Milu are the same. Quinta Milu is named for Germán’s adorable baby boy, Lucas , whom they lovingly refer to as “Mi Lu” or Milú.
