About the winery

The D.O. Alella has a Mediterranean climate, with less than 600mm of rainfall per year and an average annual temperature of 15°C. Nonetheless, each vineyard is influenced by the microclimates of the area, where variables such as altitude, differing slopes , proximity to wooded areas, prevailing winds etc, can alter the characteristics of the grapes.

The Alella region is formed by a great mass of granite. The soils are generally poor in nutrients, with low water retention and a moderate pH. It's texture is variable: from the rough sandy sauló on the maritime side of the area, to the sandy clays on the inland plain.

We have around 200 hectares of vineyards in the districts of Sta. Maria de Martorelles, Montornès del Vallès, Sant Fost de Campsentelles, Alella and la Roca del Vallès.

The varieties planted are principally Pansa Blanca. We also have Macabeu and Parellada, all three of which have a medium to long vegetative cycle. We have also introduced - with excellent results - Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, which both have a shorter cycle. The rootstock used is SO4.

Our vineyards are planted at a density of 3.700 ceps per Hectare with 2,2 m between rows and 1.2m between the vines. This creates competition between the plants and enable us, together with the trellising, to achieve a high leaf canopy area (1,4 m2). The rows are planted from North to South, and where possible on flat land.

Whilst the older vineyards are still in Gobelet (bush-vine) form, the newer plantations are all trellised using the cordon de royat system. The vines are pruned short, leaving 4 spurs with 2 shoots each to achieve the ideal balance of vigour and production.

Different grasses are sowed between the rows to limit the vigour and production and improve the qualitative potential of the vines forcing their roots deeper. This also facilitates mechanisation and minimizes erosion on the steeper slopes.

In the vineyards we apply a reasoned approach to phitosanitary protection, requiring a deep knowledge of the habitat and the biological cycle of plagues and parasites as well as the climatic characteristics of the area.

Professionals’ opinions

   buyVINOS EU
Very pale in hue with a greenish tinge, fine, persistent bubbles and good mousse. Delicate and individual aroma with marked Pansa Blanca characteristics. Fresh, light, well-balanced, and decidedly dry.
