On the grapevine - The natural wine shift in Catalonia

Durada: 26 min

Natural wine is a growing movement in Catalonia, rooted in tradition and innovation. With diverse terroirs and a long winemaking history, regions like Penedès, Alt Empordà, Conca de Barberà and Terra Alta & Priorat have become hubs for natural winemakers. On this week's podcast, we explore what natural wine is, who makes it and why Catalonia is gaining recognition on the global scene. Producer Rafa Camps from La Natural shares the challenges of small-scale natural wine production, including climate change and spontaneous fermentation. Experts Benji Sher and Ida Mogren from SucSuc explain the philosophy behind natural wine, rooted in ethics and sustainability. Plus, we visit Amateur restaurant in Barcelona to discover the cuisine and aesthetic that accompany the natural wine trend. This week, our Catalan phrase is "Bon vi fa bon cor" ¿ "Good wine makes a good heart." It's a classic saying expressing the belief that wine, enjoyed in moderation, brings joy and warmth to the soul.
