Tanca Els Ulls

Nulles is a village of fewer than 500 people in Catalonia's Alt Camp region, roughly 45 minutes southwest of Barcelona. For years, the grapes grown here went straight to cooperatives. Nobody bottled under their own name. Then Francesc Boronat -- known to everyone as Cesc -- came back to his grandfather's land in 2014, planted his feet, and started making wine. He is, today, the only active independent winemaker in the village.

"Tanca Els Ulls" means "close your eyes" in Catalan. It is an apt name for a project that required Cesc to take a leap of faith -- to look past the cooperative model, the skepticism about the region's commercial viability, and the sheer difficulty of reviving vineyards that had been left to decline. He studied oenology, worked at larger Spanish wineries and spent time in New Zealand, then returned to Nulles to do something more personal and rooted. The first vintage was 2016.
