Cuatro Corros

MacRobert & Canals is a small family-owned winery that started through the integration of Bryan MacRobert a South African winemaker and grape grower, into the Canals family, who have been living in Rioja for over forty years. They are an atypical project in Rioja differentiated by their roots, experience and winemaking philosophy. We prioritise the vineyard over the cellar and they strive to produce high quality terroir transparent wines that show the diversity of the soils, vineyards, varieties and climates that exist within the region.

In Rioja small vineyard plots are referred to as “Corros” and this is where the name “Cuatro Corros” comes from. Made from small vineyard plots that were planted before 1960. These plots are planted in a square planting pattern with a narrow row spacing that predates mechanization with tractors. The old vineyard planting material is unique in that these old vineyards were planted with a mix of different white and red varieties
