Robb Report highlights how winemakers are returning to dry farming, an ancient, non-irrigated method that strengthens vines and enhances terroir expression. In Rioja, Chema Ryan of Conde de los Andes dry farms the Las Cruces, Colorao, and El Monte vineyards, producing Tempranillo and Viura wines that embody elegance, minerality, and true vineyard character. Likewise, Fabrice Brunel of Domaine André Brunel in Châteauneuf-du-Pape practices dry farming for his Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, resulting in wines of remarkable complexity and depth.
