Lees stirring for three months to gain volume and expression, with two daily pump-overs to favor extraction. Subsequent aging of eighteen months in new French oak barrels.

Bottling and minimal aging for one year in the winery before commercialization. Wine for aging, with optimal aging of 10 years.

At Can Bas, the wines they produce are honest and genuine. In reality, they are the true witnesses of what has happened in our house over four seasons.

At Can Bas, they are not interested in repeating a wine year after year, nor in intervening to achieve an exact copy. Each bottle that leaves their winery reflects the typicity of the estate as well as the climatic and environmental conditions of the harvest in the Penedès region.

At Can Bas, they work every day to obtain wines that, above all, are the expression of the clusters grown in their vineyards and of the spirit that the owners have instilled in them.

At Can Bas, they consider that viticulture and winemaking are not exact sciences. They are more of a practice sustained by intuition, experience, sacrifice, perseverance, stubbornness, good judgment, and the curiosity-driven innovation. And all of this, driven by the work that the hands of their workers dedicate to both the vineyard and the winery.

At Can Bas, they make every effort to adapt the vineyard work schedule to the needs of each plot, each variety, or each individual vine, following a scrupulous code of good practices. And when it comes time to vinify, they are even more meticulous. Therefore, the result is exceptional wines.

Can Bas is a place where the vine
