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.

Our Review of the Cuvée

This wine boasts a magnificent translucent cherry-red color. The nose is an explosion of fruit, blending raspberry and sour cherry with subtle spicy notes. On the palate, the experience is just as enticing: the texture is lively and silky, accentuated by a light effervescence that brings a sensation of freshness. The finish is marked by a play of flavors between tart morello cherry and a gentle touch of white pepper. For the best experience, letting it breathe will soften the effervescence, revealing the full richness of this wine. A true treat for the senses!

Andréa Calek

Savoie | France

Andréa Calek is a Czech-born winemaker based in the northern Rhône Valley, in Ardèche. After a career marked by experiences in France and abroad, he settled in the early 2000s and quickly became a recognized figure in natural winemaking.

The vineyard comprises parcels located on steep hillsides, primarily on granitic soils. The vines are cultivated organically, with low yields and significant manual labor, an essential condition for optimal terroir expression.

Vinifications are carried out without additives, using natural fermentations and aging processes tailored to each cuvée. Andréa Calek's wines are characterized by their energy, freshness, and a profound freedom of expression.
