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.

Les Agulles by Gemma Miró is a unique red wine crafted entirely from organic Grenache grapes, harvested from a single tiny vineyard named "Les Pinyanes" in the Priorat region of Catalonia. This vineyard is particularly special due to its combination of three distinct soils—sauló, clay, and the region's iconic slate ("llicorella")—which enriches the wine's character. The name "Les Agulles," meaning "the needles," lovingly honors Gemma’s grandmother, Mariona, who was a seamstress in the village, always carrying her sewing needles alongside her work in the fields. This heartfelt tribute connects sewing needles with the pine needles surrounding the vineyard, evoking warm family memories. Made with minimal intervention, Les Agulles undergoes whole-cluster fermentation in stainless steel tanks and an old barrel, followed by seven months of gentle aging. The result is a delicate and fresh wine, highlighting elegant notes of red fruits and Mediterranean herbs. Unfiltered and natural, it's a sincere expression of Priorat’s Grenache, crafted thoughtfully to reflect a touching family legacy.
