Terroir

The terroir of Penedès is known for its diverse soils and microclimates, ranging from limestone to clay-rich terrains, which enhance the unique expression of each grape variety. The influence of the Mediterranean Sea and the nearby mountains creates a perfect balance between freshness and ripening, resulting in wines of great complexity and character.

Winemaking Process

We harvest the grapes at their optimal ripeness. The grapes are fermented and left to macerate with their skins at cold temperatures for about 20 days. Afterward, we perform the blending and age the wine in tanks for 6 months, followed by bottle aging. The stainless steel tanks are cleaned following kosher regulations. Each tank is sealed, signed, and stamped with the Kosher seal twice. All handling in the winery and the entire winemaking process—including pressing, fermentation, filtration, cooling, clarification, and bottling—has been carried out by a rabbi. All ingredients used are kosher for Passover.
