LARURAL - XAVI & ANDREU PADRÓ
SPAIN - CATALUNYA, SANTES CREUS
We've just received a very welcome delivery of wines from Xavi & Andreu Padró - the brothers behind Larural - producing delicious, invigorating macerations from their indigenous Catalunyan varieties.
The wines are from the the 2023 and 2024 vintages, the last two vintage of consecutive drought in Catalunya after the rain returned in 2025. From 2023 we have new editions of their light, detailed reds, and from 2024 we have the return of their macerated white-varieties - with great acidity and aromatics. Alongside these, a new Litre-bottle cuvée from 2024: Yellow - a 5-day maceration of Macabeu, Moscatell and Xarel•lo, raised in fibreglass, it's a juicy, fun and super drinkable summer quencher, and their delicious Moscatel from the nourished, bountiful 2025 available in keg!

In 2018, Xavi & Andreu took over their family's vines 30km from the Mediterranean in the Alt Camp region of Tarragona. Farming organically, with 32 hectares under vine, the brothers only vinify a tiny portion of what they grow, with much of their fruit sold to other winemakers in the region.
They farm an array of indigenous varieties planted over clay-limestone, parcels comprised mostly of single varieties scattered through the hills around Santes Creus, up to 50 years old and between 240 to 420m above sea level: the Meditteranean influence is clearly present in their wines.
