Description:

100% Garnatxa Negre from the rare Jep vineyard in Piera, Penedès, farmed organically by the Guilera family on distinctive slate soils. Toni was eager to work this patch of slate for its freshness, depth, and sense of place.

The grapes are hand-harvested in small boxes, with 70% kept whole cluster and foot-trodden, and 30% destemmed. After eight days of maceration, the wine is fermented and aged for seven months in stainless steel tanks, allowing the purity and character of the fruit to shine. Unfined, unfiltered and made without added SO2, it is a truly vibrant, expressive and naturally textured example of Garnatxa Negra.

A native grape of the Penedès, produced in a limited run of just 1,000 bottles. The whole-cluster fruit and gentle foot treading bring energy and structure while retaining the bright, juicy character of Garnatxa. With no oak, the wine stays focused on the vineyard, with the slate soils adding a distinctive mineral edge.

A pure expression of Penedès Garnatxa.
