Penedés Vintage: 2021 Variety: 100% Xarel.lo grape variety. Alcohol content: 13% vol. Tasting notes: Appearance: Pale gold and bright color. Nose: Aromatically intense, with fresh white fruit (apple and pear), floral notes, Mediterranean herbs, and vanilla. Palate: Greasy texture, showing volume and well-integrated acidity. The finish is refreshing and long. Serving temperature: Serve between 8 and 10 ºC. Geology and Soil: The sandy-loam soil and slightly alkaline pH facilitate good drainage, along with the low presence of organic matter, allowing the vines to be cultivated under optimal conditions. Pairing: Being a very versatile wine, like all Can Bas wines, it is excellent as an aperitif, paired with seafood and foie gras, in glasses or in harmony with dishes made with white meat, fish, and fresh pasta. It pairs perfectly with oriental cuisine and also with foie gras, creamy cheeses, and cured meats. Production: The harvest is done manually. The grapes are refrigerated at a controlled temperature of 10 ºC for 24 hours in the winery. The final control of the grapes follows, passing through the selection table and destemming. The grapes are allowed to macerate for two hours before being pressed. After a gentle pressing with low yield, most of the must is transferred to stainless steel tanks and a small amount to French oak barrels (10%) and amphora (5%), where it ferments at a controlled temperature of 15 ºC. It then undergoes a six-month aging period. The different musts are blended and bottled. At Can Bas, the wines they produce are honest and genuine. They are the true witnesses of what has happened in their house over four seasons. At Can Bas, they are not interested in repeating a wine year after year, or 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 an expression of the grapes grown in their vineyards and of the spirit instilled by the owners. Can Bas believes that viticulture and winemaking are not exact sciences. They are rather a practice sustained by intuition, experience, sacrifice, perseverance, stubbornness, good judgment, and the curiosity that innovation stirs. 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 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 has been cultivated for over two thousand years; a nucleus inhabited since ancient times; a manor house built on an old farmhouse; an agricultural production unit dedicated uninterruptedly to viticulture. Can Bas is a winery in which, at present, they only produce wines from the vineyards on their estate. Can Bas is a property, a land, a compendium of history, a link of culture, the sum of hopes, efforts, knowledge, experience, and work. It is a reference in the geographical framework of Penedès as well as a point of tourist and wine tourism interest. Can Bas is a place and an idea; perhaps also a passion. It is a way of making wine, a landscape, and a people. All this constitutes the Can Bas wine domain. The Brand: The name Can Bas, which today designates the brand of their wines and the wine domain, dates back to the year 1668. In Catalonia, it is a tradition to name country houses - whether large or small - with the name of the owner preceded by the word Can, which means "house of". Therefore, the gentile Can Bas means the house of Mr. Bas. Although the estate and agricultural operation already existed in the Middle Ages, the name that has survived to this day originated in the late 17th century. In memory of that moment
