We have a new winery in stock from France! Château Trigant comes from the south of Bordeaux in the appellation of Pessac-Léognan, one of the oldest terroirs of Bordeaux. The history of Château Trigant dates back to the eighteenth century, and its original owner was a lawyer to the Parliament of Bordeaux who undertook the building of the Chartreuse that carries his name. Since 1860, the château has been owned by the Sèze family who undertook the restoration and replanting of vines in 3.65 hectares 25 years ago. This entailed the replanting of 6600 vines per hectare and the complete modernisation of the cellars and winery.

Felipe Müller is no stranger to wine awards. Over the years, he's been chosen as Best Young Winemaker several times, and was most recently awarded 2022 Best Winemaker of the Year by Mesa de Cata. His Vina Tabali is the most renowned producer in the Limari region of Northern Chile and he knows this exceptional terroir better than anyone. Watch our video interview with him!

Josep Grau, the winegrower and oenologist, never came from a family of winemakers. Previously a broker in Barcelona, he moved to the village of Marçà, Tarragona, with his family to make his own wines. Today, he runs the eponymous Josep Grau Viticultor from his headquarters in Priorat, focusing on producing single-vineyard varietal wines that are authentic and exciting. 

Both in Montsant and Priorat, he works with a puzzle of small vineyards in the municipalities of Marçà, Capçanes and Falset, each with its particular mineral richness, with clay, calcareous, granite and slate soils that provide superb wines. Produced in small quantities, his wines currently enjoy both national and international prestige with high ratings from influential wine critics. In light of the upcoming Spanish National Day on 12 October, we caught up with him to share about his winemaking journey.
