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.

Merlotov is a rosé from southern France that mixes direct-pressed Merlot with a small touch of Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains. The Merlot is pressed gently, giving a clean, light rosé character rather than a heavy, red-fruit style. It then spends a long time aging in a jar, which helps keep the wine fresh while adding a soft, rounded texture. The Muscat portion doesn’t dominate, but it adds a lifted, slightly floral note and extra brightness on the finish. Overall, it’s a calm, food-friendly rosé with a clear point of view—made in the same spirit as the previous bottling.
