Cérvoles

Cérvoles Cellar, undertaken by Tomàs Cusiné 20 years ago wanted to pay tribute to an ancestral wine-making land, regaining a practice that, at that time, did not have much interest in the world of wine:  mountain viticulture. This project also represented a return to the roots without abandoning the technological advances that the present and the future offer. Therefore, in 1997, Cérvoles Cellar was created as a winery designed to produce high quality single estate wines, which express clearly the territory where they are grown and with its sights firmly set on the ultimate goal: to be the first mountain viticultural project set up in Catalonia.

The weather conditions cause the grapes to develop a thicker skin, a fresher character and higher tannin content, resulting in fruit of exceptional quality. Manually harvested and carefully selected, the two grape varieties of this Spanish white wine were separately vinified in the facilities of the Cérvoles Cellar winery. Cold-soaked and gently pressed, the Macabeo must was fermented in 3,000-litre oak vats, and the Chardonnay completed the process in new French oak barrels. After that, both wines were aged for a period of 8 months.
