Catalunya right now is a deliriously exciting place to drink.
Now by the glass at @ostudioatnight: orange wine, but make it from pink grapes!
(Specifically: cartoixaĚ de marina aka xarello vermell, a nearly extinct pink-skinned xarello variant, with 6 days on the skins.)
Cesc Boronatâs first vintage was in 2014, the first year I had a business card with the word âsommelierâ on it. He recuperated an abandoned winery in the scrubby hillsides on the coast northwest of Tarragona that his grandfather had made wine in a century ago.
(This bottlingââLleonaâ, the lionâis named for the last horse his grandfather worked his vines with.)
In a village of 480 with no other independent wineries, in a region where so many winegrowers are in hoc to the Cava factories, Cesc is part of a new generation of young CatalaĚn producers whose stewardship of ancestral sites is worth celebrating.
