Catalonia | Natural Wine from Catalonia / Catalunya

In regards to Natural Wine, Catalonia is the prime region in Spain for natural wine producers, boasting far more than any other region in Spain. In Catalonia, which is home to Barcelona, you will find a range of wine grapes being grown, including the aromatic Garnacha Blanca, the robust Carignan, and fruity Macabeo as well as Xarel·lo, Garnacha, Monastrell, and Tempranillo. These grapes thrive in the region's Mediterranean climate, resulting in wines that are bursting with character and expressiveness.

One important wine fact about Catalonia is that it is home to the world-renowned sparkling wine region, Cava. Cava is made using the traditional method, similar to Champagne, and is celebrated for its quality and finesse. However, finding a Cava made naturally is actually near impossible... and many winelovers choose sparkling wine producers like Clos Lentiscus as an alternative.

Other popular natural wine producers in Catalonia include La Salada, Partida Creus, Mendall, Escoda Sanahuja, Bodegas Cueva and now Clovis Ochin, who makes wine at the Partida Creus domain.
