Elaboration:

Selected grapes from plot 9 of the Els Cirerers vineyard. Late harvest, hand-picked and transported to the winery in small crates, where they are refrigerated for 24 hours at 10 ºC. Final control of the grapes on the selection table and destemming. Gentle pressing with low yields.

Fermentation at a controlled temperature of 22 ºC. Maceration of the grapes and bâtonnage. Aging in French oak barrels for three months to increase the complexity of the wine.

Can Bas, Premium Estate Wines

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 Penedés 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 infused into them.

At Can Bas, they believe that viticulture and viniculture are not exact sciences. They are rather a practice sustained by intuition, experience, sacrifice, perseverance, obstinacy, good judgment, and the curiosity-driven restlessness to innovate. And all 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 particular vine, following a scrupulous code of good practices. And when it comes to winemaking, they are even more meticulous. Therefore, the result is exceptional wines.

Can Bas is a place where the vine has been cultivated for more than two thousand years; a nucleus inhabited since ancient times; a manor house built on an old farmhouse; an agricultural production unit
