WHOSE BOOTS ARE THESE?
Found on the feet of a young guy called Rubas (33 years old) along the banks of the Duero River. Rubas forms part of the new generation who´s turn it is to continue the efforts of his predecessors, continuing to nurture the olf vine Tempranillo. Despite his young age, these boots have already seen plenty of time in the vineyard. The effort can already been seen in these well worn boots, full of soil following a hard afternoon prunning.
