Casa Los Frailes is named after the Jesuit Friar Order, who resided in the house from the 16th to the 18th century. They crafted wine using traditional methods, utilizing large clay amphoras and concrete tanks. The winery, which has been under continuous family ownership since 1771, now boasts a 162-acre organic/biodynamic estate with a distinctive terroir. Situated at a high altitude of 650-700 meters above sea level, the vineyards adhere to strict dry farming practices. With vines aged over 80 years, the estate's soil is notably calcareous, influenced by the nearby Mediterranean Sea. Through their commitment to honouring their origins and maintaining a deep reverence for nature, Los Frailes produces genuine and unadulterated wines that encapsulate a profound heritage and bond with the land the family has called home for centuries. 

The second indigenous grape variety of Els Alforins Valley, after Monastrell, is Garnacha Tintorera (Alicante Bouschet). The focus of this wine was to explore the maritime character of the grape, seeking soils that preserve its freshness and acidity. To preserve its unique character, the winemaking process mirrored the traditional methods used by the Friars at the estate. 

This exclusive vineyard offering reveals luxuriant aromas, showcasing dried fruits alongside spiced plums and blueberries. Its palate is robust and tantalizing, delivering luscious flavours and refined tannins leading to a delectable finish highlighted by black and blue fruits, complemented by a subtle touch of crushed stone minerality.

Thanks to its depth of flavour, this wine will be a great match for hearty dishes like beef stew, lamb tagine, or cassoulet.

Bodega Abadal, established in 1983, embodies the longstanding winemaking heritage of Valentí Roqueta's family in Pla del Bages, spanning over eight centuries. Situated around the Roqueta farmhouse where Valentí grew up, Abadal honors the family's roots and winemaking tradition in the region. The vineyards, located on terraces at various elevations, thrive on clay and limestone soil amidst woodland surroundings. Abadal's commitment to the region extends to the restoration and conservation of indigenous grape varieties, as well as historic dry stone huts and vats, all of which express a rich wine legacy in Bages.

It's in the vineyard where Abadal's wines are born and defined. Their work to revive local varieties led them to Picapoll - a grape variety that grows in small, tight clusters, featuring tiny round berries often marked with "picades" or indentations on the skin, giving way to it's name. Elegant and captivating, this wine blends citrus notes with white fruits like pineapple and peach, along with floral hints reminiscent of a forest setting, including fennel, lavender, and mint. Lees contact adds body and texture to the wine while balanced acidity complements the lingering finish.

Try this with tallarines in a mushroom sauce or bream baked in salt.

This wine is part of a collection of authentic and soulful bottlings that honors the hard work of the viticulturist Miguel Angel Mato, a native of San Vicente de la Sonsierra.

Made entirely from Maturana Tinta grapes, also known as Castets. Aromas of black & blue fruits, white pepper and licorice. On the palate, the wine is very round and spicy with notes of black pepper with soft berry fruit overlay. Powerful and vibrant and wonderfully fresh on the finish - a wine clearly marked by its Atlantic character.

Mas Codina is a 40 hectare estate in the Alt Penedès which dates back to 1681. It was only in 1985 that Antoni Codina Carbó started bottling wines and cavas from grapes obtained from the estate’s own vineyards. A passion for vines and wines has led the family to cultivate a number of unique varieties that's resulted in a beautiful range of high quality wines and sparklers. 

Produced from 100% estate-grown, organically cultivated Xarel-lo, from old vine plantings (40+ years old!) Zesty and salty, with notes of crunchy orchard fruits and a touch of fennel, which grows wildly in the region. 

This is a bright and crisp wine that will do well along side white and oily fish. A fantastic match for seafood dishes and especially oysters.
