Harry Hunt
Andalucía, Spain
My name is Harry Hunt and I previously had a 16-year career in PR & Marketing before leaving the industry to fulfil a long-held ambition to move into winemaking. After studying full-time for a degree in Viticulture & Oenology at the University of Brighton's Plumpton College in the UK, I carried out vintages in Bordeaux, in the Northern and Southern Rhône valleys in France, and in Spain, always with the goal of eventually making wine in Andalucía, where I saw huge potential to create exciting, contemporary wines.
My wife and I founded Bodegas Tierra Hermosa, the first negociant-style producer of its kind in Andalucía, collaborating with local grape growers and provincial oenologists to create a whole range of wines from right across the territory, all under our Tierra Hermosa brand.
Our goal is to create wines which deliver a modern interpretation of traditional Andalucían wine styles.
Our first two red wines from DOP Granada won Gold medals at InterVin 2013 in Canada, a Commended medal at the 2013 International Wine Challenge and a Bronze medal at the 2013 International Wine and Spirit Competition.
