Ramon Saavedra of Bodega Cauzon is one of the pioneers of Spanish natural wine, an exceptional person and despite being a truly great producer, endowed with an uncommon humility. The vineyards of Bodega Cauzon reach up to 1200 meters in height, and the terroir is incredible. Clay and limestone, but not only that, the soil is rich in minerals including quartz, and the climate is varied. Mountainous and sunny, with powerful temperature variations and sea breezes to the rescue. The grapes grow perfectly and give life to complex wines of great depth. Minimal interventionism is the rule at Bodega Cauzon, in the vineyard, where any form of systemic chemistry is banned, as well as in the cellar. The wine ferments spontaneously with indigenous yeasts and sulfur dioxide is never added. Long macerations on the skins and aging in wood complete a truly spectacular corporate picture.
