Jorge Navascués, one of Spain’s most celebrated oenologists (known for Contino and Virgen del Galir), has built a reputation that extends well beyond his home country. Over the past decade, he has redefined Mas de Mancuso, located just south of Zaragoza, by reviving Aragón’s traditional grape varieties and pushing the region to new heights.
Crafted from high-altitude vineyards and century-old vines, his wines have earned a place among the world’s finest. Regularly praised by The Parker Guide, they offer incredible value for such exceptional quality.
