Oranget: a wine that's a joke and makes you feel love for the land

Today we're introducing a project called Love for the Earth. And what is it? Well, it revolves around a wine called natural either craftsmanHowever we want to put it, there's always a farmer working the land and completing the cycle by selling wine. Here, in this project, is Salvador Batlle, whom you might know as the heart and soul of the much-admired Còsmic winery. Of course, there's the master winemaker Jaume Jordà, who runs a distributor of (natural) wines in Vic. Another extraordinary team was also involved: the two brothers who run the Monocrom restaurant in Barcelona (don't miss it!). Jaume has been working in distribution for eight years. "We've invented a lot of modern innovation and then gone back. We've explored many paths, and I can tell you that I've dedicated more time to..." fix What appears to be natural wine is different from what natural wine actually is. Wines with many defects have been made, and this idea has taken hold: natural wine can have defects. Natural wine should be good, and if you make it, it's not to be cool.

And naturally, there are gray areas everywhere. Some will find it horrible that wine has Brett (smell of a stable), but there will be those who say that a little, just a little of BrettHe likes it. "It's like the saying 'wrinkles are beautiful,'" he says. Because above all, wine speaks.

The thing is, one day Salvador wonders: "What's happening to the farmers?" Sometimes, when the wine has been sold elsewhere, the good farmers and the bad farmers have been mixed together, he tells me. And he also tells me that there are excellent farmers who take care of the land, but terrible ones who manage it. At Amor por la Tierra (Love for the Land), everyone has their role.

The Oranget del Montmell comes from this mountain (you'll find the drawing on the label) which we can see on the way to Lleida, on the highway. There are also two farmers, surrounded, like the Virgin Mary. By the way, if you read the label, and I know you will, you can talk to the designers, Ingrid and Olga Capdevila.

An unconventional wine

Oranget is one of the six wines in the project. Look for this wine joke. oranges (in Catalan we have the word breeze). "Heorange Perhaps it's not a traditional wine from our house, because it prefers cooler climates, but since everyone wants a orange And cheap and easy to drink... Well, we've played this joke on us." It's called that because it has a tiny tannin... Warning to boomersThe label features Naranjito.

In the glass, we have a modern, clean, precise wine, without flaws. There's an old-vine Macabeo that provides the structure and a forty-year-old Muscat that lends a floral, intoxicating aroma, but only on the nose, not on the palate. A wine for a carefree, bright, energetic moment. Don't miss it!
