Natural Wine Producers: Working With Nature
Portraits and interviews with the world's finest natural wine producers — farmers and winemakers who work in harmony with terroir, minimal intervention, and a deep respect for the land.
Mendall
Former computer programmer Laureano Serres returned to his ancestral village in Terra Alta in 1999 and became one of Spain's most influential natural winemakers, farming biodynamically on limestone at 400 meters elevation without a drop of added sulfur.
J.Eubank & L.P. Almazlinos
A natural-wine partnership between Josh Eubank and Lara Peso, making garnacha-based wines in Spain's Terra Alta alongside pioneer Laureano Serres.
Ca Foracaime
Rooted in family winegrowing tradition but only newly bottling under its own name, this Terra Alta cellar works native yeast, zero sulfites and barely any machinery.
Celler Xavier Clua
A fourth-generation Terra Alta family that left bulk wine behind in 1995, blending viticultural tradition with university training in sun-baked Vilalba dels Arcs.
Celler Frisach
Two brothers in Terra Alta who kept their well-tended grapes after a buyer walked away, and turned 200 years of family farming into vivid, low-intervention Garnatxa.
Alicia Serres
The next-generation Serres steps out from her father Laureano's shadow at Mendall, reviving her family's old Terra Alta parcels with native-yeast ferments and zero added sulfur.
