CHICOS ALTOS 2.0

sparkling natural wine, Catalunya
limited to 90 bottles

Chicos Altos began as a story from the cellar, a long day of ancestral bottles, hands cold from disgorging, and two tall boys standing out in a small Catalan bar. What started as an inside joke turned into one of our most personal projects, created together with natural winemaker Niloufar and shaped by our friendship with Joey from Far Out Drinks, who joined us in the vineyard long before he closed his business earlier in 2025.

For 2.0, we returned to Sant Joan Samora to let Niloufar produce something new, not a continuation of last time but a step into a next level. The wine is an ancestral, made from 80 percent Xarel.lo and 20 percent Muscat d’Alexandria. Six days of skin maceration, pressed, then bottled with the final 20 grams of sugar for a natural, gentle sparkle. Eight months of lees ageing before disgorging, followed by more than two months of rest before release.

The result is bright, dry, and structured. A fine bubble, clean acidity, and lifted aromatics from the Muscat. Texture from the skins, energy from the bottle fermentation, and a clarity that feels both rustic and refined.

Chicos Altos 2.0, a small and honest expression of craft, place, and the friendships that guide these projects.

A salute to friendship.

90 bottles. One per order.

ABOUT CHICOS ALTOS 1.0:

petillant naturel — a.k.a. natural red bubbly wine

In March ’24 we visited Niloufar, a bad-ass winemaker in Sant Joan Samora, Catalunya.
One of our best friends, Joey from Far Out Drinks Co., was helping her at the cellar and vineyard, in preparation for the next season.

We decided to take a trip to Catalunya too and learn more about the amazing craft behind natural wine making while helping an extra hand. Amongst the chores, disgorging bottles of pét-nat was one of the most fun and gritty jobs we helped with.

Disgorging is removing yeast sediment by -shooting- it out of the naturally pressurised bottle. One of the wines we disgorged was this incredible Garnatxa Negra, produced by the so-called méthode ancestrale, giving it a natural vibrant effervescence.

After a long day of disgorging hundreds of bottles we ended up in a local bar for some well deserved cervezas and croquetas, when we noticed our tab was labeled Chicos Altos, tall boys.
No surprise if you know Joey and Rob, as they’re both around 2m tall and they stood out like giants amongst the local crowd.

 

These pair well with your taste
