Liquid Geography is more than a wine. It is a project that celebrates Bierzo's remarkable terroir while giving back in meaningful ways. Olé & Obrigado donates 50% of the profits from Liquid Geography Mencía Rosé, split equally between Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to support cancer care, research, and education, and Wine on Wheels, which helps people with disabilities experience life to the fullest.

The wine is produced in partnership with Bodegas Guerra, one of Bierzo's most important growers. Guerra farms approximately 1,000 hectares (2,471 acres), nearly one-third of the region's 3,000 hectares (7,413 acres) of vineyards. Despite this vast vineyard holding, only the top 10% of the fruit is selected for Liquid Geography, ensuring exceptional quality and consistency in every vintage.

Liquid Geography Mencía Rosé is sourced from 50+ year-old Mencía vines in Bierzo, a historic wine region in northwest Spain whose viticulturel roots date back to Roman times. Mencía, the region's signature indigenous red grape, produces a vibrant, dry rosé with freshness and purity. Fermented entirely in stainless steel and aged without oak, the wine highlights bright fruit, lively acidity, and the distinctive mineral character of Bierzo's vineyards.

As founder Patrick Mata explains:
"I am very happy that this passion of ours, in addition to being an economic activity, also happens to be a vehicle to support worthy causes that make our world a better place. Our work would not be complete without the positive impact it has on so many great causes unrelated to wine."
