After leaving the Czech Republic and meeting several key figures in the wine world, Andréa Calek found the Ardèche to be the perfect place to express her vision of natural wine. Using entirely natural winemaking methods—free of sulfites and additives—and through carbonic maceration, she creates wines that fully celebrate the distinctive character of the Syrah and Grenache grape varieties. The result is a vibrant, rich wine that highlights freshness and suppleness.

Andrea Calek
Andréa Calek is a winemaker of Czech origin based in the northern Rhône Valley, in the Ardèche region. After gaining experience in France and abroad, he settled there in the early 2000s and quickly became a recognized figure in the natural wine movement.
The vineyard consists of plots situated on steep slopes, primarily on granite soils. The vines are cultivated using organic farming methods, with low yields and a significant amount of manual labor—a prerequisite for the terroir to fully express itself.
The wines are made without additives, using natural fermentation and aging methods tailored to each cuvée. Andréa Calek’s wines are characterized by their energy, freshness, and a great freedom of expression.
