When and where did you study?<\/strong><\/p>

I started studying oenology in 1979. I spent three years in Madrid at the Escuela del Vino where I trained as a winemaker. I had previously completed a professional chemistry training in Barcelona.<\/p>

Where does your passion for wine come from?<\/strong><\/p>

My father is the \u201cculprit\u201d of my passion for wine.\u00a0 He was the one who instilled in me the love for this profession. As a child, I always saw him \u201con the job\u201d: racking, blending wines and looking for a good wine that would please their customers. I loved being with him, I could spend hours watching what he was doing. We spent a lot of time together in the laboratory and he would leave me in charge of the analysis. They were insignificant tasks, but they made me feel very good, I felt that it was a great responsibility and I was always with all five senses attentive to everything that was \u201ccooking\u201d there.<\/p>

At first, my parents sent me to study Administration in Zaragoza, but I have to admit that being surrounded by papers has never been my thing. So one day I told them what my true passion was: to study oenology and follow in my father\u2019s footsteps. They always supported me in my decision, despite the doubts they had at first. You have to bear in mind that the world of wine has always been mainly masculine and even more so in those years. Oenology was not considered a profession for women.<\/p>

Your daughters, Alicia y Ana are now helping you in the winery, what is the best advice you have given them?<\/strong><\/p>

At the moment, my youngest daughter, Ana, who has also studied a degree in oenology, is with me. In her case, she studied in Cari\u00f1ena.<\/p>

I have always tried to convey that the most important thing is to do what you are passionate about. If you work in something that you like and you enjoy what you do, it is not a job, but a pleasure. For this reason, I always try to instil in them the passion that I have, although there are times when it is very hard.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Susana Ruberte is the first female winemaker in Aragon and is the head of\u00a0Bodegas Ruberte<\/a>, belonging to the\u00a0Campo de Borja Protected Designation of Origin<\/a>. Since 2016, she also runs\u00a0Bodegas Monasterio de Veruela<\/a>, dedicated to the production of cava and also located in the town of Ainz\u00f3n in the Zaragoza region. Veruela Monastery belongs to the Cava Designation of Origin and part of its space is underground caves covering some 600 square meters. With this project, in which Ana, one of her daughters is directly involved, Susana fulfilled one of her dreams: to be able to make cava in her own winery.<\/p>

Ruberte, a great passionate about viticulture and everything that surrounds it, is also closely linked and committed to the solidarity actions carried out by the community around wine, such as the annual challenge of Divi\u00f1as Women, which she always attends or participates in.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

What is your main job in the winery?<\/strong><\/p>

At the moment, I do more management work than oenology, although I am always looking after the winemaking process and the vineyards. I love the harvest season, which for us is the most important time of the year. Each season, the grapes arrive in different conditions and you have to give your best to get the best wines. In the winery, 2+2 are never four and that is one of the things I like the most. You always have to be testing, innovating and improving day by day.<\/p>

If you had not dedicated yourself to the world of wine, what would you have done?<\/strong><\/p>

Right now, I would love to have a business related to rural tourism, a house, a small charming hotel\u2026 In short, to be able to show the wonders of our land.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
