Bodega Fabio Coullet — Winery in Almáchar

Fabio Coullet is an agronomist who worked in wine countries around the world for more than twenty years. In 2020 he started his own winery in Almáchar, a white village in the heart of the Axarquía, east of Málaga. The cellar sits in the middle of the village. The vineyards lie on extremely steep slopes, up to 70 degrees, where no machine can go. Much of the work is still done with the help of mules, just like in the old days.

Fabio farms organically and intervenes as little as possible in the cellar. He chooses old local grapes: Garnacha and the almost forgotten Romé for red, and Moscatel de Alejandría, Pedro Ximénez and Doradilla for white. All the wines fall under DOP Sierras de Málaga and are dry. That is unusual in a region best known for sweet wine.

Visits run on Fridays and Saturdays: a short introduction with three wines, or a walk through the vineyard and bodega with a tasting of five wines and tapas.
