The Wine & Winemaker
- Winemaker: Sergi (Ca Foracaime)
- Region: Pinell de Brai, Terra Alta, Spain
- Grape: 100% Garnacha Peluda
The Story
With this fifth bottle, Sergi truly showcases his immense respect for the traditions of his home region. He does not just practice regenerative agriculture, but actively works to preserve local agricultural history. For this Rosat, he exclusively uses Garnacha Peluda. This is an ancient, indigenous variety of the famous Garnacha grape that had almost completely vanished from the area. Sergi and a handful of other passionate farmers are now working incredibly hard to recover and replant this unique grape to bring it back to life.
The Vibe & Tasting Notes
This rosé is the absolute proof that saving this old variety was a brilliant move. The Garnacha Peluda is given just twelve hours to macerate on its skins. That is exactly long enough to give the wine a beautiful, inviting color and extract just a tiny bit of extra structure. It is a crystal clear, crisp, and above all, incredibly juicy rosé packed with fresh red summer fruit. Serve it nice and cold in the afternoon sun and enjoy a beautifully rescued piece of authentic Spanish wine history.

Why natural wine costs more, and why it’s worth it
-
No shortcuts
Growers who refuse pesticides and chemical additives accept that they’ll lose a significant part of their harvest to weather, disease, and unpredictable nature, but they do it to keep their wines pure, alive, and honest.
-
Risk and loss
Nature swings between plenty and scarcity; frost, hail, heat and ferments can erase volumes, fewer bottles must carry the farm’s costs, with ageing measures adding expense to keep the wine clean and true over time.
-
Integrity and handwork
Hands replace chemicals: they weed, manage canopies, pick, and sort by hand; presses and gravity moves protect texture, while cleanliness and patient ageing deliver purity without shortcuts, increasing labor but preserving integrity in every bottle.
