Maximum expression of the Mediterranean varieties, the Penedès climate and a stony soil, and the result of long ageing on the lees.
Textures de Pedra is named after its vineyard of origin, the Vinya Més Alta, situated at the top of the Turó del Serral, the highest point on our estate, where the soils are stony. The geology of these plots means that the vines' roots have to reach down to deeper layers in order to find water (the soil is fresher), and this produces grapes that favour the creation of more concentrated wines, with more structure.
A warm, dry year, with very healthy grapes.
A warm year, with a strong drought, which brought us very low yields and very healthy grapes, due to the low fungal pressure. A year in which drought has been the protagonist of the viticultural cycle (357 mm of rainfall, when the average is 520 mm). This meant that the grapes did not develop as well as in other years and the plant did not produce as much fruit due to the lack of water, resulting in losses of approximately 20%. The plots with the most hours of sunshine were the hardest hit. Extreme years give us very concentrated grapes that maintain a very good acidity balance: very high acidity at ripening.
Early harvest due to the long heat wave. Production down over 20%, but very healthy grapes.
Red native variety that almost disappeared and which we are recovering. The agricultural work is complicated. Moderately vigorous and producing a high yield, it adapts perfectly to our Mediterranean climate. Its wines generally have a low intensity of colour and are fresh and rustic. Vinified like a vin gris, they produce wines with a good structure, elegant, with a low pH and an acidity that is magnificent for long-aged sparkling wines.
A sister of the Xarel·lo variety, and one that has almost disappeared, it has a pink skin, is rustic in agriculture and ripens slowly. It maintains its acidity well and allows us to produce fresh, full-bodied, structured wines as a basis for long-aged sparkling wines.
