Y el vino se hizo verso

This work is a life story, as documented by the canons of cultural anthropology. It chronicles the life of someone considered the Spanish father of high-altitude natural wines, who has been settled since 1979 in Barranco Oscuro, on a farmhouse in La Contraviesa, Granada, in the municipality of Cádiar—just as close to the Mulhacén as to the sea.

But in the person of Manuel Valenzuela, there is much more than the aura created around his character and the fame of his work, wines that are known and sought after worldwide. This vintner is a poet of wine but also an eternal malcontent. A person who clandestinely crossed the Pyrenees in the late Franco era, who lived with his wife and children in Paris, and who, upon returning to Barcelona, could no longer endure the asphalt or the traffic lights. Therefore, someone who was a hippie in his beginnings and swam against the current continues to be a Don Quixote in the Alpujarras and retains that eternal discontent of his youth—a poet in his eighties who has come into his own.
