We are very excited to have the Miro Daughters Naturalment Blanc and Serendipity Red now in stock.
Jordi Miro’s passion for wine started at an early age. As a child, he worked in his family’s vineyards alongside his father, Miguel Miro. There he learned to prune, plow, cultivate, and harvest. The family has been growing grapes in the region for generations - Jordi’s maternal grandfather had his own small winery, while his paternal grandfather, Jaume, was a renowned grafter in the region and an expert grower.
After having worked most of his life for other wineries, Jordi planted his own 5 Ha (12.5 acres) of vineyards in 1999. The vines lie within the Terres de l’Ebre Biosphere Reserve. The soils are calcareous and poor in organic matter. The vineyard is organically farmed with no irrigation and no chemicals are used (pesticides, fertilizer, additives, etc). The grapes are hand harvested and the average yield in the vineyard is less than 3 lbs per vine.
In 2009, Jordi began to construct his own small winery. He built it himself, brick by brick. Traditionally in Terra Alta, whites and reds were produced by extended skin contact. Jordi's wines combine traditional methods with a modern touch. He does spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, uses no winemaking additives and the wines are very minimally fined or filtered. Sulfite levels are below 60 mg/L.
Jordi still uses the lessons he learned from his father, doing all the work himself. He prunes, plows, thins the vines, harvests, ferments, rakes, cleans the vats and bottles the wine. Harvest starts with the first light of the day and is done by hand, into small cases. Jordi’s philosophy is to do as much as possible in the vineyard to create the wine there, and then just do minimal intervention in the winery.
Jordi's daughters Aida and Andrea are following now the family tradition with the release of these two new wines.
