One of the defining attractions of El Capricho—and undoubtedly the source of its unique character—is that it is an author’s work. All its products, activities, and daily life are permeated by the presence and involvement of its creators: today José Gordón; before him, his father; and originally, his grandfather, Segundo. They are the ones who excavated the cave that now houses the restaurant, who buy and care for the oxen, who planted the vines, and who make the wine. Everything is intertwined with their experiences, their emotions, and their passion for what the land provides—for authenticity.
This wine is made from grapes grown in the highest vineyard planted by the grandfather. It was José’s father, deeply enamoured with this wine, who gave it its name by writing on the barrel: La Perla.
The packaging of El Capricho can only serve as a showcase for this increasingly rare quality of authorship, personal effort, and authenticity. Everything else is superfluous.
