I can't picture my childhood without memories of wineries

Chema Ryan, enólogo

"I can't picture my childhood without memories of wineries, vineyards and everything that surrounds what today is my passion; wine", Chema confesses to us as we walk through the Finca "El Gallo" in Elciego (Rioja Alavesa), a place so familiar and close to him. We share his story here.


Impossible not to ask him about his favorite wine, Chema finds it difficult to choose one because for him all wines are special and unique. Made with care from the origin, always respecting the variety and taking care and supervising all the winemaking processes. This is the way of thinking and working of our winemaker: method and authenticity that are transmitted to the wine and the rest of the team, with whom he shares experiences and wisdom.


Chema Ryan, winemaker at Bodegas Muriel for 13 years. His work, one of his great passions, a feeling he transmits to each bottle of Muriel.


His story is our story.
