Javier Revert is among the pioneering young winemakers in Spain who are utilizing native grape varieties and traditional methods of viticulture and winemaking to create authentic, dynamic wines that embody their origins. These wines are produced in small quantities and are poised to establish a new standard in the Eastern region of Spain.

Since taking over his family’s ancestral vineyard, La Pla de Micalet, in 2014, Javi Revert has expanded, rehabilitating abandoned terraces. He has chosen Garnacha and Arcos as varieties ideally suited to the sandy and chalky limestone soils believing that when blended, they create not only a wine that marries the lively fruit of the Garnacha but the savory, lifted, and complex nature of Arcos. Above all, however, is the unmistakable stamp on the soils, which provide freshness, focus, and fine-grained tannins. This wine is quite similar to Nebbiolo, meets Chambolle Musigny, meets Grenache on sandy soils with its floral expression of roses, a deep mineral core of Chambolle, and the supple red fruit of Grenache.
