With deep roots in winemaking, it wasn’t until winemaker Andres Carull's trip to Bordeaux that he was inspired to shift to natural wine, embracing this ‘old-but-new’ path. In line with this vision, he now focuses on crafting vibrant wines from living vines, as seen in this fresh, easy-drinking red that highlights the authentic expression of Alicante's Monastrell grape.

Vibrant blackberry and strawberry with hints of eucalyptus and liquorice. Smooth and balanced on the palate, with structured tannins and a sharp acidity.

The Producer

About Finca Casa Balaguer

Andres Carull, the current custodian of Finca Casa Balaguer, has a captivating narrative deeply intertwined with the legacy of Rafa Bernabe, the father of natural wine in Valencia. Hailing from Villena in Alicante, Andres' journey into natural wine began with a revelatory sip in a bar in St. Emilion, Bordeaux. Inspired by the unconventional beauty of a cloudy glass of wine, Andres sought to bring such innovation back home, eventually leading him to the mentorship of Rafa Bernabe.

Taking the reins of Finca Casa Balaguer from Rafa in 2013, Andres transformed the estate into a hub of cutting-edge winemaking. The two worked together for three years until Rafa's health concerns prompted him to step away.
