Description:
Made from high-quality 50-year-old Carignan sourced from two vineyards bordering a small river, where alluvial soils and cooling influences create a lighter, more elegant expression of this classic Empordà variety. The grapes are destemmed and macerated on skins for ten days, with gentle daily pigeage by hand before pressing. Fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel to preserve purity, freshness and varietal character. Unfined and unfiltered, with a maximum of 20 ppm SO₂ added at bottling. ‘Velles Vides’ means ‘old vines’ in Catalan, celebrating the local farmers who have preserved Carignan as a defining part of Empordà’s rural heritage.
