The vineyard's production is 7,000 kg/ha, well below the usual average of 10,000 to 12,000 kg/ha. Following the PERE VENTURA philosophy, viticultural practices are carried out under sustainability criteria and respect for the environment, intervening as little as possible in the vine and surroundings, and accompanying the vineyard throughout its life cycle until the optimal harvest time. The harvest is manual, and there is a double selection of grapes, in the vineyard and on the selection table. Pairing: At Made in Spain Gourmet, we believe it can be enjoyed at any time, always.

Unbeatable as an aperitif, it offers a range of possibilities as an accompaniment to a meal from start to finish. From elaborate pastas to pastries, it highlights the delicate acidity of red fruit and the bitter touch of dark chocolate. Production: The stems are removed from the grapes (destemming), and they are directly placed in the press. Some of the grapes are pressed directly, and others are first macerated for eight hours to obtain different profiles: floral in short macerations and fruity in long ones.
