Our Wines
We produce wines from Spanish grape varietals grown in Spain and various American vineyards including right here in New Mexico.
Under the direction of our winemaking team, Bob and Louisa Lindquist, we acquire fruit from the highest quality growers of Spanish grape varieties in the U.S. The harvested fruit is brought to our New Mexico facility where the wines are made and aged in individual lots until Bob and Louisa assemble the final cuvees.
Vara winemakers and partners regularly travel to Spain and are committed to growing or locating the best fruit for our Spanish wines and cava. We are very fortunate to have agreements for grape production and wine making with the best grape growers and producers in Spain.
With a salute to their Spanish heritage, Vara’s wines are simply put — remarkable.
