Raphael Baissas is the very definition of a free spirit. This thirty-something native of Perpignan, born to a wine merchant father and an artist mother, did a fair bit of wandering before he stumbled onto the vineyard path. As a lover of graffiti and techno, Raph was first drawn to the city life of concerts, cinema and computers, and even landed a job at Apple... But in 2014, the call of nature prevailed – he moved to Calce, apprenticed under the natural winemaker Jean-Philippe Padié, and took over a small plot of family vines in Lledoner Pelut... and vamos! Raph was off, once again carving his own path. One need only look at his approach to blending and vinification to understand that Raph doesn't care about conventions. And the result in the glass is huge – wines you feel in your guts and your heart. To top it off, Raph now also makes special collaborative cuvées with winemaker Oscar Mancillas, released under the label “Vandal Wine”. Yet another evocative name for a vigneron who defies classification.
Minimal sulphites
A nose of orange peel, roasted apricot, beeswax, and subtle vegetal notes... The palate is fleshy, with pep and structure. Raphael suggests pairing Fille Sauvage with a cheese plate – and we heartily concur!

A "tinted white" with real substance! With its puzzling yet exceedingly charming nose, this unique wine boasts notes of cranberry, redcurrant, lychee and yellow apple. Palate: fluid without simply being easy-drinking, this wine of great finesse can be enjoyed from aperitif into dinner.
Sulphites-free wine
Concentrated nose on black fruits, peony, pepper, forest floor. Lightly sparkling just after opening (worth decanting), then the juice is powerful, with smooth tanins and a spherical volume. A bottle crafted for gastronomy.

Zuma is short for Moctezuma, the last Aztec emperor; this cuvée was vinified with Oscar Mancillas, a Mexican-born winemaker! An exotic nose of roasted pineapple, passion fruit, dried apricot, and white flowers. Palate: taut, with mouthwatering acidity and lovely bitter notes on the finish.
