Region of Spain: Conca de Barbera DO “Catalonia”

Producer: Joan Ramon Escoda and Carmen Sanahuja

Vintage: 2017

Vitigno: Carignan (locally known as Samso) and Grenache

Completely de-stemmed, the grapes undergo a 10 day maceration before being transferred to neutral French oak tonneau for ageing. So much minerality and complexity is packed into the wine. A real treat! JR founded the Natural Wine Producers Association (PVN) where he actively participates in numerous events and tastings focused on natural wines from Spain and abroad, connecting likeminded individuals who share similar ideas around farming, winemaking, and philosophy.

Service Tips: Serve at 16C with calcot onions cooked over open fire wrapped in paper and served along side a bowl of romesco sauce (red peppers blitzed with nuts) or a simple lamb rack cooked in the oven.
