Producer Els Vinyerons

SPAIN, PENEDES

Els Vinyerons is a Spanish winery located in Sant Martí Sarroca, near Vilafranca del Penèdes. It was born, on the initiative of Amós Bañeres and Alex Ruiz Masach, as a shared shop project to enhance the production of the region from which they come. The approach is clear from the beginning: certified organic agriculture, in a natural environment that is almost free from pathological pressures, aided by the particular terroir of permeable granite sands (sauló). Some plots can thus boast of not receiving any phytosanitary treatment of any kind. For others, copper, sulfur and a strictly organic protocol. The choice of vineyards, mainly planted in xare-lo, was carried out with great attention, selecting above all old vineyards historically located in the most suitable areas and which, thanks to a profound interaction with the territory, are able to enhance its character. Today the estate has several parcels located in the areas of Vilafranca del Penedés, La Munia, Font Rubí, Pacs and Sant Martí Sarroca, each with absolutely particular characteristics. The harvest is obviously manual. The alcoholic fermentation occurs spontaneously, with indigenous yeasts, and the sparkling wine production is entrusted to the ancestral method. No final dosage, to maintain the original expression of the wine intact.
