50%Xarel·Lo, 20%Macabeu, 15%Chardonnay,15%Pinot Noir Calcareous sandy soils. Biodynamic, made with organic grapes
The estate's best vineyard of each variety have been selected for this wine. Macabeo from Can Simón, Xarel-lo and Pinot Noir from Can Prats, Parellada from Can Castany and Chardonnay from Can Miquel de les Planes, in Gelida. Vins el Cep is a unique producer of sparkling wine from Spain because all of their vineyards are certified organic and are estate owned. This was the first producer in Spain to employ biodynamic practices at their estate.
Methode champenoise. The hand harvested grapes enter the cellar by gravity. A gentle press is carried out and only free run and 50% of the first press must is used. Each variety and vineyard plot is fermented separately in small tanks to protect their individuality. Secondary fermentation is carried out in bottle.
A minimum of 48 months in bottle, up to 50 months depending on the vintage.
Vins el Cep (roughly translates to wines from the vineyard) epitomizes the concept of "grower" sparkling wine. Vins el Cep was the pioneering producer of organic and biodynamically farmed sparkling wine in Spain. Today, the winery produces wine exclusively from estate owned vineyards - not a single berry or liter of purchased must or wine enters the cellar every year.
My goal in starting a wine collective is to hand pick a unique, fun variety of wines from all over the world. To entice people to step out of the norm and be open to experiencing varietals and bottles that you may never have heard of, never knowing what you were missing! For you to awaken your palate to the bounty and abundance of unique, stunning, sexy wines from all across the globe. I hope wine tasting becomes a passion for you as it is for me! Prepare to be awed!
