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.

  • Region Empordà, Catalonia, Spain
  • Grapes Carinyena, Garnatxa, Macabeu & Picapoll
  • Vineyard Organic
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered and unfined, minimal additional sulphites

Le Mazel
Cuvée Raoul 2023

Vivid ruby Carignan and another delightfully light, luminous vintage, already to drinking superbly in its youth.

Truly compelling wine, in the sense that once opened a bottle does not last for long! Find out more.

Sumptuous black cherry fruit and spice jostle together with grippy, dialled-back tannins. A playful, well-rounded bouncing ball of a wine with bags of charm.
