Sessions Arts Club continues its evocative journey through forgotten cellars with the launch of Lost Xarel·lo, the second edition in its Lost Wines series.

In this volume, the story deepens: winemaker Pepe Raventós and partner Francesc Escala's departure from the Cava DO marks a bold turn toward purity and expression, crafting biodynamic, organic wines with minimal intervention. Each bottle of Lost Xarel·lo is hand-numbered and wrapped in new artwork by Rosa Mason-Jones, further anchoring it as both artefact and experience.
