History: the purpose of this wine is to pay tribute to the old days, when a blanc de noir (white wine made with red grapes) was the only way to drink white wine in a land of red grapes.
The magic of this wine lies in the delicate exposure to the flor veil during fermentation in oak barrels, something natural a few years ago when the “flor veil” grew in summer and died in winter.
This vintage is the 4th time we pay homage to what we inherited.
Harvest: by hand, end of September
Winemaking: Pressed with the feet and quickly separated from the skins. Fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks.
Aging: Biological ageing sur lies in French oak barrels, for 9 years.
The barrels are half-full, thus allowing the wine to age with flor yeast during this process.
Production: approximately 1000 bottles (75cl)
Tasting note: Deep golden yellow. Fruit on the nose, but quite evolved, showing ripe stone fruit, tart cider apple notes and dried floral notes. Lactic notes on the palate with a bready, yeasty character to it from the ageing. The beauty of this wine remains on how fresh it stays after a long ageing, with vibrant acidity and an umami finish.
In the town of Capçanes, in 1933 a few families decided to join together to create a common project that would help them preserve their way of life, viticulture.
Thanks to the brave spirit of its people, today we inherit beautiful century-old vineyards and a winery with more than 90 years of history.
Our winery adapted to the course of time, always open-minded, demonstrating that a well-organized people is capable of creating great wines in cooperation.
In the 90s, before having a local Denominación de Origen, the first Kosher wines in Spain were already produced, achieving outstanding international recognition.
The first single-varietal Grenache red wine from the Priorat region has been made in 1996, positioning the town of Capçanes on the world wine map.
Today we dare to say that we are a model of sustainability, which allows local people to live on their land in a dignified manner.
