100% Parellada from two parcels, 30 and 40 y.o. vines. Younger parcel direct press, older parcel left to macerate for a week after foot stomping then pressed to stainless steel tank and combined for fermentation and élevage. A slightly salty, herbaceous white with a little texture and colour.
Brothers Alberto and Joshua founded Cyclic Beer Farm in 2016, focusing on the cultivation of mixed fermentation beers. Soon the brothers expanded this remit into fruit fermentations, ciders and wines.
Their fruit ferments and wines, inspired by their early days of home brewing and winemaking, are produced using only local, organically grown fruits, fermented naturally by the action of the wild yeasts present on their skins. Alberto and Joshua source their fruit from across beautiful Catalunya, and harvest by hand themselves, using many of same organic growers as used by Partida Creus and Emi Mutombo.
The brothers continually strive to experiment and as they grow in knowledge and experience, exploring the boundaries of their processes, seeking to employ novel methods and increase their use of locally sourced organic raw materials to create a singular drinking experience, indelibly linked to their locale. This new selection of wines shows the fruits of their experimentation, with easy drinking crowd pleasers and more nuanced wines that reward considerate drinking.

A bottle shop with a bar problem.
SPÖN - a discovery-led hybrid bottle-shop/Wine bar experience. Browse the shelves, grab a bottle and drink it at the bar — or pull up a stool and explore a daily rotating board of over 15+ distinct wines being poured by the glass. SPÖN is built around drinking what interests you.
Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
