Story
Andrea Calek
Ardèche · Rhône · France
After leaving the Czech Republic and crossing paths with inspiring figures like Winery Hauvette, Yann Rohel, and Gérald Oustric, Andréa Calek settled in Ardèche in 2007 to fully immerse himself in crafting natural wine. While some consider Andréa Calek a bit of an outlier, he embraces his role as a rebel with flair. Despite having his head in the clouds, he remains firmly grounded. Vinifying without sulphur, respecting the terroir, and prioritising freshness and drinkability, Andréa Calek's wines exemplify the natural style.
“His Syrah, Carignan, and Grenache are pure expressions of grape juice, brimming with sensations.”
A champion of "hyper-natural" winemaking, even in his aesthetic, Andréa now delights us with essential natural wine vintages. His unadorned wines require a curious palate, but today he's recognized worldwide, exporting from Europe to the USA and Japan.
