Producer Profile

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.

Where The Wines Come From

Andalucía

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.
