It was José Ignacio Exner, son of a German immigrant who acquired from him the passion for nature, the ability to observe the landscape and the interest in learning the best growing practices. It is no coincidence that, after touring Spain, it was the astonishing while complex Asturian orography that captivated him. That land was the perfect place to fulfill his dream: to grow very special apple trees that he would take care of daily in order to make a unique cider with them. We named the orchard Finca Gallinal, after the village where it is located.
