Ull de Lebre is Catalan for Tempranillo. This has dark hearted fruit, framed by powdery tannins, with a bright nose of cherry and a sexy lift of volatile acidity. Fresh and crunchy. A much needed reminder of summer.

Xavi and Andreu Padró - the brothers behind Larural - took over their family's vines 30km from the Mediterranean in the Alt Camp region of Tarragona, Catalunya. Organic since 2015, they farm an array of indigenous varieties across 32 hectares, vinifying roughly 10% for their own production, with much of their fruit sold to other winemakers in the region.

They work mainly with stainless steel and fibreglass, with a small selection of barrels and glass demijohn. All varieties see a few days of gentle infusion maceration and are very lightly basket pressed; yielding textural, aromatic whites and lively, bright reds.

The wines are a testament to the brothers' attentive farming, sharp instincts for the ideal time to pick, and gentle cellar work: fresh, characterful and balanced. Brilliant, keen-eyed impressions of a beautiful region.
