Explorer Box

In December, the Explorer box takes us on a trip to two vibrant regions in the Spanish wine scene, the Sierra de Gredos and Bonastre, with two young wineries that aim to make wines in the tradition of yesteryear.

The tour begins on the northern slopes of the Sierra de Gredos, in the province of Ávila, where Nahuel and Vicky, after leaving behind haute cuisine, decided to focus on the production of minimally-intervened wines. Here, among century-old vineyards between 80 and 120 years old, they grow emblematic varieties such as Albillo Real, Airén and Garnacha, on granitic soils that provide a marked minerality. The region, with its cold winters and mild summers, allows for the production of elegant and balanced wines.

From the interior of the peninsula we travel to Catalonia, specifically to the Bonastre area, a Mediterranean region where the mild climate, with hot summers and the influence of the sea breeze, allows for obtaining fresh and balanced grapes. Òscar Sonreira, after a decade as a sommelier and consultant, decided to found Els Mecanismes with the collaboration of Òscar Navas, with the aim of creating vibrant and lively wines. Here, in the vineyards of Celler Sicus, native varieties such as cartoixa and samsó are born, the protagonists of Amaranti, an effervescent pet-nat full of character.

Two experimental projects with very limited productions to enjoy during the holidays.
