About the winemaker: Clot de les Soleres produced the first wine in 2008, recovering the familiar tradition of making wines from the vineyards of Heritage Ferrer de la Vall. From 1880, the heritage was focused principally to the vineyard, and only it had approximately 2-3 Ha. of forest and 1 Ha of garden. Due to phylloxera, from 1888, the production of wine slowly gone down until 70s and 80s of XX Century, when all grapes was sold to big cava makers of region. In year 2001, we began to take care from the vineyards, getting back to family tradition and willing to do wine again.
From 2008, we elaborate natural wines, without added sulfites or other artificial products (as artificial enzymes or enological additives). That makes the wines unique and unrepeatable every year depending on the rainfall, the harvesting, the terroir, etc. The vinneyards are in differents altitudes (approximately 265-335m) due to the fact that two torrents cross the land. The average temperature in summer months is about 29 º C and in the winter months it is about 2 º C approximately. The annual rainfall is 606 l approximately and the vineyards don't have artificial irrigation. The harvesting is manual, and the transport of the grapes up to the cellar takes about 20 minutes. The vineyard is cultivated with products which are friendly environment, and authorized for integrated or ecological production. We have organic certification (CCPAE).

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
