ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Casa Jipi
Casa Jipi (pronounced Hippie) started as a clear example of “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!” – or wine, in our particular case.
Times of crisis brought together two families, two wineries, two valleys and gave birth to this incredible project. It binds together Rancho Llano Colorado, one of the region’s most important and sought after grape producers, Vinicola Bruma, the up-and-coming winery pushing Mexican boundaries in winemaking, and Lulu Martinez Ojeda, one of the leading winemakers in Mexico, changing the wine scene as one of its prominent ambassadors internationally.
Lourdes Martinez Ojeda worked for almost 10 years at Château Brane-Cantenac. She returned to her hometown of Ensenada to bridge the divide between France and Mexico and worked for Bodegas Lurton. She is also the winemaker for Bruma.
