Variety and Production

These autochthonous grape varieties from the region have their own special reason and space. On one hand, we have Xarel-lo and Bastard Negre harvested from the Viña Más Alta vineyard, located at the top of Turó del Serral. On the other hand, Sumoll comes from a vineyard to the west at the height of Conca del Anoia. These vineyards were planted in 1965 and 2002 respectively. They have a total area of ​​9.73 hectares.

Regarding the soils, they have a marine origin with a large presence of eroded limestone pebbles. This calcareous structure with a limo-sandy texture provides a high content of rounded stones that contribute to the vines. As for the climate, it is pre-coastal Mediterranean type.

For the harvest, it begins by collecting Sumoll at the end of August, beginning of September, and then Bastard Negre and Xarel-lo. Once in the winery, it undergoes a slow pressing under pressure, each variety is pressed separately and aesthetically clarified at low temperatures. The first fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 17 and 21 ºC. Finally, it is blended and undergoes its second fermentation in the bottle.
