La Perla
Graphic for wine label. Bodega El Capricho. 2023
One of the attractions of El Capricho, and undoubtedly the reason for its personality, is that it is an author’s work. All its products, its activities, its day-to-day are permeated by the presence and intervention of its creators: today José Gordón, previously 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, who make the wine. Everything is intertwined with their experiences, their feelings, their passion for what the land gives, for the authentic. This wine is made from the grapes of the highest vineyard planted by the grandfather, and it was José’s father who, enamored with this wine, christened it by writing on the barrel: “La Perla”. The packaging of El Capricho can only be a showcase that displays that increasingly rare quality of authorship, personal effort, authenticity. Everything else is superfluous.
