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.
Pardas
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.
Joan Rubió
After 15 years rising to technical director at Cava house Recaredo, this Penedes vigneron returned to his family's Cal Tiques estate to make biodynamic, amphora-aged natural wine from Xarel-lo.
Oriol Rossell
The Rossell family has farmed Cal Cassanyes in the Penedes since 1497, now tending 85 organic hectares of Xarel-lo, Macabeu, and Parellada in the heart of Alt and Baix Penedes to produce hand-riddled, biodynamic cava.
