Natural Wine Producers: Working With Nature

Raimones unites the next generation of three neighboring Penedes wine families -- Montse Carbo, Jordi Jane, and Marti Sadurni -- to rescue the rare Marina grape and craft vibrant, hand-harvested natural wines from dry-farmed Catalan vineyards.

Jot Camps tends ancient vines on the calcareous heights of the Massís del Garraf above Barcelona, producing small-batch natural wines from Ull de Llebre, Macabeu, Xarello, and other indigenous Catalan varieties on soils that date back to the twelfth century.

A third-generation Penedes farm where Ruben Parera turned 22 hectares of biodynamic vines, vegetables and cherries into one of Catalonia's most thoughtful natural wine estates.

A third-generation Penedès vigneron who left the Cava DO behind to chase tension, place and zero-dosage purity from indigenous Catalan grapes.

Ramon Parera and Jordi Arnan farm 35 organic hectares at Can Comas in Alt Penedes, where Xarel-lo, Sumoll, and rare indigenous varieties express clay-limestone terroir at 250 metres elevation.

A Penedes native with Burgundy and Champagne training who farms biodynamically to express the true character of Xarel-lo and Sumoll from his family's ancient land.

A tenth-generation Catalan family farm in the Garraf hills turning native Penedes grapes into some of Spain's most compelling sulfite-free sparkling wines.

Founded in 1924 in Sant Sadurni d'Anoia, Recaredo is one of the Penedes' greatest sparkling wine dynasties -- now in its third generation under Ton Mata, biodynamically certified since 2010, and one of the co-founders of the Corpinnat designation in 2019. Celler Credo is its sister still wine project.

A third-generation sparkling-wine name walked away from Cava to join Classic Penedes, making zero-dosage traditional-method bottles from organic, hand-picked Macabeu and Xarel-lo.

Working two hectares from a 400-year-old masia, this Penedès grower farms old Xarel-lo and Parellada biodynamically and bottles barely 8,000 gravity-handled bottles a year.

Former architects Massimo Marchiori and Antonella Gerosa left Turin for a remote village in Baix Penedes, where they rescue old vines of obscure native varieties and make some of Spain's most distinctive zero-zero natural wines.

Azimut is the affordable, organic-grape line from the Suriol family's 400-year-old Penedès estate, best known for a lees-aged Brut Nature Cava with no dosage.
