Our Bruntsfield store manager, Rom, recently took a trip to Ca N'Estruc in Catalonia and was thoroughly impressed by their ethos, not to mention their exceptional wines! We're thrilled to feature a curated selection of their wines in-store and wanted to shine a spotlight on them. Check out their range on our website: https://bit.ly/canestrucwines



About Ca N'Estruc

Ca N'Estruc, "House of the Estruch", is a historical agricultural estate in Catalonia, and home to the Estruch family and their descendants. Dating back to 1574, the estate has been home to cereal farms, orchards, livestock and, consistently, grape vines.

Though the Estruch family had been making wine on the Estruch estate for hundreds of years, it was not until 1980 that the current head of the family, Francisco Marti Badia, began the process of professionalising Ca N'Estruc's viticulture.


Their Expressions

We adore the rich, full-flavored profiles and complexity of this winery's offerings. Their Idoia boasts balanced tannins, accentuated by cherry notes and spices. Meanwhile, their Rosat exudes fragrant aromas of strawberries and raspberries, while their L'Equilibrista showcases tapestry of red fruits with elegantly rounded tannins.
