Siscu Martí

Coming Up

At Ca N'Estruc in Esparreguera (Barcelona), the work has run through Siscu Mart since 1980, when he took on the roles of heredero y actual propietario and farmer and winemaker. That combination matters in wine: ownership sets the long view, but farming and making keep the estate tied to the season, the site, and the decisions made row by row and cellar by cellar. His name has stayed attached to the place because the work has stayed attached to the place.

Where They Are Now

At Vila Viniteca, Mart’s current role sits on the trade side of wine, but it still reads like the output of a grower and maker. Years in the vineyard tend to sharpen how a producer thinks about origin, consistency, and what should be preserved when wine moves beyond the estate. In Mart’s case, that background is the point: the discipline of Ca N'Estruc carried into a broader commercial setting.

Signature

Ca N'Estruc Xarel·lo, Ca N'Estruc Negre, L'Equilibrista, and L'Equilibrista Garnatxa are the wines most closely tied to Siscu Mart, and they show the range already implied by the estate’s name on the label. The Ca N'Estruc wines carry the clearest link to site and house style, while L'Equilibrista and L'Equilibrista Garnatxa point to a line built around balance and control. Taken together, they describe a maker working across different expressions without leaving the framework of origin.

In Their Words “Why can't I produce a sparkling wine that falls under the Cava DO in Esparreguera, but they can in La Rioja or Extremadura?” The question is plainspoken and technical, which is often where the real fault lines in wine appear. It places geography, regulation, and category rules in the same frame, and it does so from the position of someone working inside the system rather than speaking about it abstractly. Mart’s point is not decorative; it is about how designations shape what can be made, and where.
