Founded by Melanie Hickman, a North American who followed her heart to Spain, where she invested my life savings to purchase her first vineyard in Rioja Alavesa. That marked the beginning of her winemaking journey under the name of Etérea Kripan. With a focus on biodynamic viticulture, biodiversity, and eco-conscious practices, she’s worked alongside her partner David Sampietro at Bodegas Bhilar to craft wines that intertwine land stewardship with environmental awareness.
