Fuente Guijarro

Located in the Natural Park of Sierra Nevada, Manuel and Sara recovered an old orchard preserving ancient varieties while planting around 500 more trees with wild foraged varieties, mostly prunus malus. The farming is done organically and harvest is done by horse as the slopes and terrain make it impossible to access with any other type of vehicle. The cider is made without additives of any kind and is 100% natural. The fact that most of what they make is sparkling keeps the essence alive and intact. As the name implies, Ancestral 2017 is a pet-nat. Quimera 2009 is a base from 2009 re-fermented in bottle with must from 2017. Ya heard? - Selections de la Viña

About the Winemaker

Fuente Guijarro

Sidra del Sur, a unique cider from the southern region of Andalucía, challenges the traditional stronghold of Asturias and País Vasco by flourishing at an altitude of 2000m in the Granada province. Manuel Moreno and Sara Bertani are pioneers, exclusively using local and endemic apples cultivated in the high mountains of Sierra Nevada, preserving ancient varieties while introducing new ones. In the heart of the Natural Park of Sierra Nevada, their orchard boasts around 500 trees, organically farmed and harvested by horse due to the challenging terrain. The cider, produced without additives, maintains its natural essence, with most offerings sparkling to uphold its authenticity. Ancestral 2017 embodies a pet-nat style.

The Region

Andalucía, Spain

In the sun-drenched landscapes of Andalucía, natural winemaking is a journey of passion and tradition intertwined. This region in southern Spain, known for its rich cultural tapestry and diverse terroir, has seen a resurgence of interest in artisanal winemaking practices. Here, amidst the rugged mountains and fertile plains, winemakers embrace organic and biodynamic principles, tending to their vineyards with reverence for the land. Indigenous grape varieties such as Palomino, Pedro Ximénez, and Moscatel flourish in Andalucía's warm climate, yielding wines of remarkable depth and character. In the cellar, traditional methods like solera aging and oxidative winemaking techniques are honored, allowing the wines to develop complexity and nuance over time. The result is a portfolio of natural wines that reflect the soul of Andalucía, with their bold flavors, haunting aromas, and a timeless connection to the region's storied past.
