Story Microbio (Micro-Bio) was founded by Ismael Gozalo in 1998. Coined by some as “El Mago de las Verdejos,” he practices his sorcery in his medieval underground cellar located in his native town of Nieva. Barrels, fudres, anforas, damejeannes, stainless…young, old, skin contact, sparkling, biological and oxidative aging…you name it, he’s got it. How Verdejo picked so ripe can still preserve such freshness and acidity is something only he can tell.

The wines of Rueda have often been referred to as piña colada due to their tropical taste resulting from the use of the same commercial yeast strains in the region. But Ismael is the anti-Rueda, regardless of being located there. He is a citizen of the independent republic of Verdejo where his super old, ungrafted, prephylloxera vines are king. For those looking for piña colada, all we can offer is the label.
