Oriol’s 7.5 hectares of vines in Vilassar de Dalt, his hometown, are left to grow as naturally as possible. He uses the lunar calendar to plan production, pruning his vines only very minimally and allowing nature to curate the soil between the plants. As such, wild vegetation has sprung up around his vines, allowing them to grow freely in a natural environment. Oriol’s ancient vineyards of native vines are largely based on granite rock, known locally as Sauló, at between 100 and 350 metres elevation. This results in wines often rich in minerality, conjuring aromas that will take you all the way to the Mediterranean.
Terroir: Sauló-granitic sand. West exposed.
Age of the vines: 6 years old
Vinification: Whole bunches are hand-harvested and fermentation with indigenous yeast takes place in contact with the skins for 10 days. Wine is then pressed and left to rest for 11 months with the less in stainless steel tanks before bottling.
