NEW ARRIVALS FROM AMÓS BAÑERES 

IT GIVES US GREAT PLEASURE TO BE ABLE TO ANNOUNCE THE ARRIVAL OF THE LATEST RELEASE FROM THE CELLAR OF AMÓS BAÑERES – PHARMACIST-TURNED-NATURAL-EVANGELIST AND, EVENTUALLY, WINEMAKER: AMÓS IS EQUAL PARTS SPIRITUAL AND RATIONAL, AND TRANSFERS THIS APPROACH WITH IMMENSE PRECISION TO THE MICRO CUVÉES HE PRODUCES ON THE TINY PARCELS OF HIS FAMILY VINEYARD.  

AFTER A 7-YEAR CAREER AS A PHARMACIST, AMÓS DECIDED HE WANTED MORE FROM LIFE. HE MADE A RADICAL DECISION AND TOOK HIS TWO CHILDREN OFF ON A SAILING BOAT TO GREECE FOR A YEAR. THIS PERIOD LED AMÓS TO CONCLUDE THAT LIFE IN NATURE WAS THE LIFE HE WANTED FOR HIMSELF AND HIS YOUNG FAMILY, AND HE DECIDED TO TAKE THE LEAP INTO WINEMAKING.  

AMÓS RETURNED TO SCHOOL IN TARRAGONA TO STUDY VITICULTURE AND EVENTUALLY TOOK OVER HIS FAMILY’S VINEYARDS NEARBY. HIS FIRST VINTAGE IN 2011 WAS LIMITED TO TWO WINES, 1,000 BOTTLES EACH, FROM TINY PARCELS OF THE SAME VINEYARD. 

AMÓS NOW FARMS ORGANICALLY AND EXCLUSIVELY BY HAND. WORKING WITH AN INTENSE LEVEL OF ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND NEAR-MEDICAL PRECISION. AMÓS HAS A GOAL TO MAKE EXTRAORDINARY WINE, INTENSELY PACKED WITH AROMATICS AND COMPLEXITY, A PERFECT HARMONY OF ACIDITY AND ALCOHOL, WITH AN ABILITY TO HANDLE EVEN THE MOST CHALLENGING VINTAGES WITH COMFORT. THESE WINES ARE AMONG THE MOST UNIQUE IN THE REGION AND, FOR MANY, REPRESENT THE PINNACLE OF WHAT IS POSSIBLE WITH THE BEAUTIFUL TERROIR & VARIETIES THE AREA HAS TO OFFER.
