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.

Estático is a dry white wine that shows a different side of Pedro Ximénez. Made mostly from this local grape, with a small share of other native varieties, it comes from old bush vines in the Sierra de Montilla, rooted in albariza soils known for holding moisture and giving wines a marked mineral feel. What makes this wine stand out is its ageing under flor for two years. This biological ageing brings depth, saltiness and a very distinctive sense of place. The fruit comes from the last days of harvest, adding a little more ripeness without losing freshness. In the glass, Estático offers notes of ripe white fruit, citrus, chalk, white flowers and aniseed, with a light iodine touch. The palate is fresh, long and very mineral, with a sapid, saline finish that stays with you.
