He made a name for himself when he started his own wine business in the 1990s with fellow winemaker Pablo Eguzkiza. Together their vision for Compañia de Vinos was to soley work with native grape varieties and revive forgotten or abandoned vineyards in various regions throughout Spain. With Spain only slowly starting to recognise and explore the beauty in its indigenous grape varieties, Telmo and his dedicated team have long been ahead of their game. They closely work with local growers creating unique wines with a genuine sense of place. The journey thus far has seen them take on board some 355 little plots across 80 hectares in total, working with 43 different varieties of native grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.telmorodriguez.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Telmo Rodríguez Compañia de Vinos Website\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eTelmo Rodríguez Website\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"telmo-rodriguez-gaba-do-xil-mencia-valdeorras","title":"Telmo Rodríguez Gaba Mencía Valdeorras 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Telmo Rodríguez Gaba Mencía is a wonderful expression of the indigenous Mencía grape that performs so well in the Valdeorras wine region of northwest Spain.

Adopting simple and respectful winemaking practices, alongside Telmo's 20 years of experience and knowledge of this area, make El Transistor Verdejo a very consistent wine of great complexity. El Transistor derives its unusual name from Telmo's inspired solution of strategically placing a radio in the vineyards to ward off local wild-boar from eating the delicious fruit. Fermented and aged in wooden barrels and foudres of different sizes for up to 9 months, this wine is restrained and elegant with fresh green apples on the nose, accompanied by notes of bitter lemon and a floral, lime-blossom lift. The wine is still youthful, fresh and light with white peach and a grapefruit twist. There is a subtle, structured minerality which comes through as stony pebbles with a savoury hint. Very focused, there is a gentle smoothness to the texture which carries the wine forward across the palate towards a refreshing, citrus-pith finish.

Here, the organic certified bush vines grow at altitudes ranging from 450 to 650 meters above sea level on two main soil types. On the flat sandstone plateaus the vines grow on shallow, low fertility stony, calcareous and silty textured soils which inhibit vigour and concentrate the flavours, adding mineral notes. The soils on the gentle slopes are moderately deep, with less stone, a higher marl content and very fine texture which prologues the ripening and adds freshness to the finished wine. At the winery the three grape varieties were co-fermented with indigenous yeasts in small concrete tanks where they remained for a further 6-7 months. The wine was fined and lightly filtered before bottling. Lanzaga 'LZ' Rioja is medium purple in colour and made in a fresh, fruit-driven style. The lack of time in oak preserves the brightness of fruit, with ripe red cherry, redcurrant and plum and a juicy and fleshy palate nicely defined by well managed tannins.
