The Spring of Futuro Viñador

– Mediterranean Mosaic – “Mediterraneanism is the most poetic attitude to inhabit a landscape.” In February 2020 we announced that FUTURO VIÑADOR was no longer just a dream: the association that 16 Spanish producers had spent more than a year enthusiastically drawing up; all those meetings, trips, and lengthy talks was finally a reality: Futuro […]

Pruning secrets and techniques

    Pruning ends with the end of winter and begins with the coldest months from November to the beginning of March, months when the vine is still sleeping. Pruning seems like an easy job; shears in hand and cutting shoots, but the truth is not so. It is a job for experts that must […]

A Harvest to forget

The first forecasts, with a winter and early spring generous in water, seemed to announce a good harvest, far from those years of prolonged drought. But, if public health has been tragically threatened by the Covid19 , the health of the vineyards has also suffered a historic blow. While the beneficial autumn rains helped to […]

Travelling to the soul of wines

“Le vin est la plus saine et la plus hygiénique des boissons” Louis Pasteur As Pepe Raventós always says, travelling helps you open your mind and gives you a different perspective about everything in life.

Biodynamics is also a philosophy, a commitment that we acquire with the plant and the earth. Our goal is to give life to the soil and ensure a good balance to the biodiversity […]

Tracció animal a les vinyes

05.12.2016

Durant les últimes setmanes hem calçat els ceps, llaurat i sembrat. Tot això amb les nostres eines i el millor company possible, el cavall bretó Bru. La recuperació d’aquesta forma de treballar és més que una connexió espiritual entre l’home, l’animal,  la planta i la terra. Des d’un punt de vista pràctic i vitícola treballar […]
