More than 23 years of experience in the food and wine scene
Since 2004, we have been working with natural wine, being one of the first shops in the world embracing the benefits of it.
Jessica, with more than 23 years of experience in the world of natural wine and gastronomy, will be your consultant during the whole training process.
For over 15 years she was a chef (working in some very renowned restaurants all over Europe). One day she was at a natural wine tasting, and immeditaly fell in love!
The feeling and personality she discovered with these types of wines motivated her to deepen her knowledge and study a course about viticulture and oenology. Additionally, she wanted to learn all about olive oil, so she decided to study to become a maestra de almazara.
Her knowledge in the area turned her into a sensory expert. She can detect every smell and flavour of the wines and also combine them perfectly with food, creating amazing flavour pairings.
Jessica currently works as general manager and business partner of Al Sur de Granada.
