This blend of Cabernet Franc and Parellada is remarkably original. Delicately warm, but also full of energy and confidence. Some succulent red fruit, a note of cocoa and bitter herbs, and a first-rate acidity make for a very fresh no added sulphites wine. Gentler and more engaging than ever, this wine from Escoda-Sanahuja has a long finish with a mineral and pithy aftertaste.

Joan Ramón Escoda Martínez

Joan Ramón is not just a winemaker, he's a grassroots innovator, a radical winemaker, a sentimental husband, a stressed-out father, and an absolute anarchist ... absolute rock and roll. If you've ever tasted their wines, you've got the proof ... it's never banal.

After working as a winemaker in a large winery in Catalonia and traveling through France, he joined the movement of biodynamics and natural wine. In 1999 he started a project in his wife's hometown, Prenafeta (Montblanc), in Conca de Barberà. In 2005 he began to produce wines without added sulfites, a method that continues to this day.

He and his friend Laureano Serres founded PVN, the first natural wine association in Spain.

Every year they organize the H20, an international wine fair, which are mostly wines without added sulfites, without clarification or filtration, and without stabilizers.
