The Wine & Winemaker
- Winemaker: Laureano Serres Montagut (Mendall)
- Region: Pinell de Brai, Terra Alta, Spain
- Grape: 90% Macabeo & 10% Carignan
The Story
For our second summer bottle, we are diving into the cellars of natural wine legend Laureano. The name of this wine refers directly to the specific plot where the grapes are grown. Here, forty eight year old vines are deeply rooted in a clay loam soil with calcareous character at over five hundred meters altitude. The 2024 vintage experienced an unexpectedly cool summer after a series of very hot years. This gave the plants a much needed respite and resulted in grapes with incredible character, pure fruit, and brilliant, significant acidity. After a spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, the wine rested for nine months in stainless steel tanks.
The Vibe & Tasting Notes
By blending a massive amount of white Macabeo with just a small splash of red Carignan, Laureano creates an incredible 'Arrosé'. It is a highly juicy, extremely fresh, and slightly sweet rosé. The flavor profile evolves beautifully and slowly in your glass. This is simply liquid summer joy. Make sure to serve it nice and cold. It is fantastic to enjoy on its own out in the sun, but it also pairs flawlessly with a light summer meal.

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.
