Natural Wine
Els Bassots is a captivating skin-contact Chenin Blanc from Conca de Barberà. Made biodynamically at around 450 metres of altitude, the grapes benefit from a dry climate moderated by cool sea winds. They are harvested by hand and macerated on their skins for roughly ten days before fermenting with native yeasts in stainless steel. Afterward, the wine rests for about one year in neutral French oak barrels, without filtering or fining, and without added sulphites. This approach gives the wine a light golden hue, creamy texture, and bright citrus hints. Its lively acidity and subtle mineral notes linger on the palate, reflecting both the region’s clay-limestone soils and the winemaker’s gentle touch. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians, Els Bassots offers a distinctive Spanish take on a traditionally French grape, showing that Chenin Blanc can flourish beautifully under the Catalan sun.
Fan inconditionnelle de Christophe Guittet. Son orange de Muscat d'Alexandrie est sans aucun doute un des meilleurs oranges que j'ai pu goûter. Petits agrumes confits et petite finale amère. Bref fabuleux.

Meet this unique orange wine from the Eastern Pyrenees of France. While it's made from white Muscat d'Alexandrie grapes, it gets its distinctive character from being processed like a red wine – the grape skins stay in contact with the juice for 12 days. The winemaker keeps things natural with organic farming and skips filtering, giving the wine its characteristic cloudy look with orange hints. You'll discover a mix of apple, lychee, and citrus flavors, with a gentle tang and a hint of saltiness that makes it perfect for pairing with savory dishes.
