Andrea Calek

Andrea Calek did not set out to become a winemaker. Born in Czechoslovakia, he left to avoid military service in 1989, drifted across Europe, and only stayed in France because he met someone there. The Ardèche kept him.

Calek learned the craft from some of natural wine's most respected names. He trained under Gérald Oustric at Domaine du Mazel, the godfather of Ardèche natural wine, and worked with Guy Breton in Beaujolais and Dominique Hauvette in Provence, where he helped convert the estate to biodynamics. He began farming his own land in Alba-la-Romaine in 2007. His partner Stephana Nicolescu joined the project in 2016.

More on how they farm and work in the cellar in our Andrea Calek producer profile.
