The Wine
Sa Natura, previously Sacra Natura, is crafted from organically grown grapes in the elevated Terra Alta region, just south of Barcelona. As a certified organic wine, Sa Natura exemplifies "liquid geography," articulately expressing the Terra Alta terroir. The bottle's bouquet suggests a blend with hints of thyme, rosemary, chamomile, and graphite—scents reminiscent of a stroll through the Piñol family's vineyards. Opening a bottle of Sa Natura offers a sensory journey, unveiling a spectrum of novel aromas and tastes.

About the Wine Maker
Celler Piñol, located in the Terra Alta region southwest of Barcelona, is renowned for its highland vineyards and organic viticulture. These elements contribute to wines that embody the freshness of this previously lesser-known area. Celler Piñol's journey reflects the rise of Spanish wines on the global stage over the last decade, showcasing a blend of respect for ancient vineyards and familial traditions with modern winemaking techniques to craft exceptional wines. Terra Alta, akin to Yecla and Vinos de Madrid, is emerging as one of Spain's promising wine regions, characterized by innovative projects and forward-thinking. The winemaking duo, Juanjo Piñol and Cristina Barroll, lead the production, while Juanjo's mother, Josefina, oversees the family's cellar operations.
