The La Natural project focuses on honest wines, naturally crafted, with a philosophy closely tied to the fruit and minimal intervention. A good example of this is Mandarinas 2024, which reflects a simple and precise effort, yet very well thought out. The Garnacha Blanca grapes that form its base are cultivated in Terra Alta and brought to the winery in the D.O. Empordà, where they are vinified while respecting their varietal profile. The result is a distinct orange wine, lighter, friendly, and carefree.
Mandarinas 2024 offers a different, lighter, and more refreshing take on orange wines, a current trend with an increasing number of followers. La Natural produces it entirely from garnatxa blanca sourced from Terra Alta and vinifies it in its winery located in Empordà.
The grapes are destemmed and left unpressed, poured directly into stainless steel tanks, and macerated for 25 days; afterwards, the grains are gently pressed, and the juice is returned to the tank. After winter, it is bottled on a fruit day, further enhancing its natural profile and expressive character.
Mandarinas 2024 pairs very well with appetizers, Mediterranean cuisine, roasted vegetables, rice dishes, medium-flavored fish, and mild cheeses. Its refreshing and fruity profile also makes it especially versatile at the table, offering a wine with character that is easy to drink and pair.

La Natural is a project born in Barcelona with a clear idea: to show that natural wine is no longer something strange or reserved for a few. The brand was created to accompany the current rise of natural wine, increasingly present in restaurants and everyday consumption, with an accessible, honest approach designed for drinking, not explaining.
La Natural produces clean, stable and food-friendly natural wines, created to work on restaurant wine lists and also to appeal to drinkers coming from traditional wine. The brand does not position itself within a dogmatic niche or chase a passing trend, but instead proposes a sensible and contemporary way of understanding natural wine, focused on genuine enjoyment and continuity.
La Natural was created with a clear focus on the HORECA channel and professional distribution. Its portfolio is structured into different ranges aimed at varying levels of complexity and consumer profiles, making entry into the world of natural wine more accessible.
La Natural communicates natural wine with humour, without solemnity and through approachable language, supported by a recognisable and carefully crafted aesthetic. The brand builds community through tastings, events and collaborations with leading producers, consolidating a fresh, contemporary and easily recognisable identity.
