Costador Terroirs Mediterranis

Probably not everyone knows that Catalonia, in the hinterland of the Tarragona hills, hides one of the areas traditionally best suited to orange wines produced using ancestral methods. In the municipality of Barberà de la Conca, the Costador Terroirs Mediterranis winery has the merit of having brought to light this heritage of ancient traditions, offering a range centred on risk, experimentation and uncompromising quality. Extreme soils, limestone rich in clays and slates, and unusual terroir, in close contact with Mediterranean currents. And vertiginous altitudes, with very old vines, some more than a hundred years old, reaching 850 metres. At the helm is an artisan of the vineyard, Joan Franquet, who organically and biodynamically grows a refined catalogue of rare grape varieties. And he has the patience to bring each piece to a microvinification in amphorae from 300 to 2500 litres, where he carries out long macerations on the skins and leaves only the autochthonous yeasts to work, naturally.
