Those of you who know\u00a0ACID Caf\u00e9<\/a><\/u><\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/em>ACID Bakehouse<\/em>\u00a0will probably know this other project by Fede Graciano<\/em>. It\u2019s called GOTA<\/strong>\u00a0and it is a wine bar<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>that specializes in natural wines, good music and small dishes to share.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Its origins date back to the back of Acid Bakehouse<\/em>, where they offered their first dinners and events in a really cool and fun atmosphere, with a clandestine vibe that was really cool. However, they realised that\u00a0GOTA<\/em><\/a>\u00a0is an entity in itself and it needed its own space. Said and done. GOTA <\/em>already has a new life at Las Salesas and what a life it is! The space is a beauty designed by\u00a0Plantea Studio<\/em><\/a>\u00a0with furniture by\u00a0FRAMA<\/a><\/u><\/em>\u00a0and lamps by\u00a0Santa&Cole<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A few days ago, we chatted to Fede<\/em>\u00a0about the project and this is what he told us.<\/p>\n

How did the idea of creating GOTA at Acid Bakehouse come about? Who is behind this project?<\/h6>\n

Since I opened\u00a0ACID<\/em>\u00a05 years ago, I began introducing natural wine in the caf\u00e9. Through pop-ups, selling wine magazines, then a couple of shelves where I would make a wine selection of wines that I enjoyed at home and then would sell them to take away\u2026 And slowly, the wine began to gain ground. That\u2019s why, when we openedACID Bakehouse<\/em> and with it having such a large space (with a license for wine consumption), I decided to use the back room to “try” what it would be like to run a mini wine bar with some food. And that\u2019s how it got its own name and its own identity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What is the concept behind it?<\/h6>\n

The concept could not be simpler or clearer: natural wine, food for sharing and music. And I say simple because it exists in every city in the world but in Madrid no-one had raised those three pillars to a more “professional” level yet.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What is your link to natural wines?<\/h6>\n

Being a consumer for years, the same as with specialty coffee. The worlds of coffee and wine are very connected, and they have been a passion of mine that became a job, the same thing happened when I opened ACID Caf\u00e9.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What are your selection criteria and with what kind of wineries do you work?<\/h6>\n

Our criteria when it comes to selecting wines has different steps to it: first that the wine has to be natural. When we say natural, as there is no legislation or “rules”, we created our own criteria: no chemicals on the vine, respecting the ground, no chemicals in the grape, no chemicals or corrections at the winery. A philosophy that, when respected from start to finish, is beautiful.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The second step is to make a selection that is different to the rest on offer. Getting wines that nobody brings or\u00a0cuv\u00e9es<\/em> that many bars\/restaurants pass by because they are pricey or they have a profile that is “difficult” to sell, etc. Obviously, there is part of the selection that you can find elsewhere but the majority are things nobody else in Madrid works with.<\/p>\n

Is there a story behind this new space?<\/h6>\n

The story is that the building is owned by the same owners as ACID Bakehouse<\/em>. They are really happy with our work, that\u2019s why they offered us this space for us to do something worthy of the neighbourhood. It was the perfect opportunity to “emancipate” GOTA<\/em>\u00a0from\u00a0<\/em>ACID<\/em>\u00a0and open its own space with a larger team and more amenities for the service. It is a small space, with a complex distribution, that together with the architecture studio, we worked out in the best possible way, with an open kitchen that connects the two rooms.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Who was responsible for the decor and with which brands have you worked?<\/h6>\n

With regards to the architecture and the design of the space, we worked with\u00a0Plantea Estudio<\/em>, and for the furniture most of it with my friends from\u00a0FRAMA<\/em>\u00a0in Copenhagen. When we opened GOTA<\/em>\u00a0I realised that we are the perfect trio, that\u2019s why from now on, all the\u00a0ACID<\/em>\u00a0projects will be executed in the same way. The ACID Bakehouse<\/em>\u00a0refurbishment (that will be ready in two weeks) and the third ACID<\/em>\u00a0location, very close to GOTA<\/em>,<\/strong>\u00a0will also follow this formula.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What would you highlight from your menu? It would be great if you could tell us about the chef and the wine guy, whose name I never remember and who is such a great guy.<\/h6>\n

Our food menu stands out for having two sections: one for snacks for those times when the kitchen is not open, and another main menu where we work with seasonal produce, simple elegant dishes, all elaborated in-house and that change completely every month so that the regular customers may have a different experience. We have a team of five people in the kitchen and, in the dining area, we have expanded since coming back from summer so there are six of us now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Incidentally, can we buy the wines at GOTA?<\/h6>\n

All the wines that we serve at GOTA<\/em> can be bought to take away with a discount.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the wines that we serve at GOTA can be bought to take away with a discount.\u201d<\/h2>\n

Soon we will sell online for home order, and we will start the distribution of small producers that we are bringing in from Argentina.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How was the experience at Numeroventi? Will you do other stages like this at other venues?<\/h6>\n

The experience at\u00a0Numeroventi<\/em>\u00a0was really positive. I am a friend of the team, and the idea of doing something in summer while GOTA<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>was closed for holidays in Madrid came up.<\/p>\n

The “pop-up” or collaborations will be constant. That is how ACID<\/em> was born and how we want to keep things with GOTA<\/em>. They are really enriching experiences.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Specially recommended for those who love honest places, with soul and without frills, with excellent produce, a better atmosphere and really lovely staff with who you\u2019d happily sit and have some wine.<\/p>\n
