Vinyes Singulars
Xarel-lo Amphora 2021

The eponymous vessel always seems to lend a diffused, wide-open quality to the aromas of a wine - here white peach, melon and prickly white peppercorn provide a highly fragrant lift to the overall shape and balance. Tannins from the short maceration feel sanded-down and granular, raw lemon citrus gives a piquant twang, cutting through the smoky, pithy white grapefruit and tailing long into the finish.

Vins d'en Tom
Bota 2021

Bota hails from Tom's own single hectare parcel, right outside his house. Here the alluvial soils are more rocky and some of the vines were planted as far back as the late 30s, at the end of the Spanish civil war. Bristling with spice, it is a dark, sappy wine with a robust structure and some charming Catalan rusticity. Find out more.

Marzagana Elementales
Higa 2022

Higa is all salt on the Atlantic sea breeze and scorched charcoal minerality, making for a more savoury, saline expression. The delicate tannins stand like a sort of intricate, skeletal framework around the wine, where earthy elements meld with secondary notes from the time in barrel, the fruit feeling less to the fore.
