Lectores Vini Pomagrana Penedès
Lectores Vini, founded in 2016 by Fredi Torres, is a pioneering winemaking project rooted in Catalonia. Drawing inspiration from his global experiences as a house music DJ, Fredi partnered with Ollivier Jacq to craft exceptional wines. Their focus on organic viticulture, unique grape varieties, and diverse terroirs showcases the rich character of southern Catalonia in every bottle.
One standout vineyard is Roca Crespa, nestled in the Garraf mountains of Cubelles, just 4km from the sea. Benefiting from a Mediterranean climate, this vineyard endured the challenges of a drought-stricken 2023 vintage, with less than 400mm of rainfall. The 40-year-old vines thrive in limestone soils surrounded by Mediterranean forest and are cultivated using ecological methods. It is from this vineyard that Pomagrana is born. Harvested manually on August 30th, 2023, the grapes underwent careful de-stemming and fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel vats. The wine matured on fine lees for six months before gentle filtration and bottling. So sippable! Sunshine in a bottle!

Tessier Cheverny Blanc
Founded in 1961 by Roger Tessier and later led by his son Philippe from 1981, Domaine Tessier spans 23 hectares in the heart of the Cheverny and Cour-Cheverny AOCs. Nestled in a cool microclimate between the Loire River and the forests of Cheverny, Chambord, and Solonge, the vineyard has been Ecocert-certified organic since 1998. Philippe's philosophy centers on crafting wines that authentically express their terroir, vintage conditions, and the vigneron's touch, while respecting the soil and environment. His wines are natural, vibrant, and balanced, offering both pleasure and purity.
The Loire's Cheverny commune is known for wines with striking acidity, but the Tessier family has discovered that subtle additions of Chardonnay and Orbois create remarkable harmony. Organically farmed with minimal intervention, these wines receive only 12 ppm of SO₂ at bottling. Bright flavors of Meyer lemon, tangerine, and tropical fruits are beautifully balanced by a salty minerality. The palate is both richly textured and intensely grippy, offering a dry, rounded finish.
