Jorge Ordonez (Alvear, Numanthia, Naia, Alto Moncayo, Volver, etc.) is a winemaker, bodega owner, importer and cheerleader. For his Old Vines #3, Ordonez traveled back to the area of his youth, Malaga. His 80-100 year old Muscat vines are harvested in several passes, the fermentation is stopped by dropping the temperature and the wines mature in used French oak barrels.
