La Rumbera – Oriol Artigas
Oriol Artigas's Rumbera is a fresh and pleasant white wine made from 100% Pansa Blanca grapes. Oriol Artigas is a young winemaker located in Llinars, just 15 km from Barcelona, where he works organically in the vineyard and produces his wines in a natural and non-interventional way. This translates into honest and transparent wines, which, thanks to a fascinating saline touch, express the full character of the Mediterranean climate. The grapes for producing "La Rumbera" come from vineyards between 35 and 80 years old, which are found on white and pink granite sand soils, at altitudes ranging from 100 to 350 meters. The harvest is done manually, and once the grapes arrive in the cellar, 80% of the grapes are destemmed and crushed and the rest is macerated with the skins for 5 days. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts. After fermentation, the wine rests on its fine lees for 9 months in the same tanks. It is bottled without fining or filtration and without the addition of sulfur. Rumbera is a wine where the aromas of ripe white fruit and floral notes stand out on the nose. In the mouth it is pulpy, easy to drink, thanks to the Mediterranean salinity and the freshness that is so characteristic of Oriol wines.

Winery: Oriol Artigas
Oriol Artigas is a chemist of primary education and second winemaker, who in 2011 began his adventure in the world of wine. Today it cultivates 8 hectares of vineyards on the ancient area of Alella, which is 15 km north of Barcelona. Alella, which now has 220 hectares of vineyards and is perhaps the smallest wine-producing area in Spain, is divided into two by a mountainous mountain range parallel to the coast, which divides the most exposed vineyards, with the earliest maturity, from the internal area where the harvest is delayed for two weeks. Oriol works an enormous quantity of vines, there are more than 50, in an absolutely natural way, following the biodynamic lunar calendar. In the cellar he is a purist of naturalness and tries to intervene as little as possible in the winemaking process so as not to waste the heritage that the vineyard has given him. Oriol produces wines as he likes to drink them, he tries to make the grapes get everything he can from his territory and then transforms them in a natural way to get a real juice that smells of the sea and Mediterranean scrub. 25,000 bottles produced that usually end quickly. Among his wines; La Rumbera, a white wine made from Pansa Bianca, El Rumbero, a red wine made from a blend of Garnacha Negra, Syrah and Merlot, and La Bella produced with grapes of Pansa Bianca that come from 60-year-old vineyards.
