El Brindis, 2018

El Brindis is produced in Montsant, neighbouring the DOQ Priorat and based on the same grape varieties: Grenache and Carignan.

Our objective is to preserve that voluptuous texture, the luscious fruit of Montsant and yet capture the vibrancy of our old vines and elevated vineyard.

Enjoy a glass of our Mas Amor Rose with a simple but delicious lentils salad.

We have prepared it with different sort of lettuces (roman, radiccio, curly endive, rocket lettuce), raff tomatoes, red pepper, eggs, emmental cheese and jamón ibérico…

A slice of rye bread always complement a dish 😄
Yummy!

Tricky foods to pair with wine… but no problem for Cava! 🍾

ARTICHOKES: the perfect way to cook them are on charcoal and then dressed with olive oil. This is a heavenly match with a fresh Cava, preferably one that is aged on its lees like our Mas Sardana Brut nature.

CREAMY SAUCES: Cava is perfect as it cuts through the richness (it’s particularly delicious with a fish pie). Richer, aged Cavas are a good counterpoint to creamy FOIE GRASS, too.

FRIED FOODS: Anything that is crisp and crunchy is great with bubbles – even a simple CHEESE STRAW.

SALADS: Because of its relative dryness, Cava doesn’t jar with vinaigrette. It’s particularly good with salads that contain fruit, such as grapes, apples and oranges.

TAPAS: NUTS and OLIVES being the most obvious ones. And, of course, with JAMÓN. Cavawine also works particularly well with EGGS, which makes it a good match for TORTILLA.

Today is bee day.

Last week we have installed two new beehives in collaboration with the “redicat project”. This consists of taking hives of wild bees away from the city where they can cause issues back to the countryside.
And today 20th May is the world bee day. The opportunity to plant a flower for our pollinating friends and use honey with no moderation.

Hace más de 10 años que elaboramos el vino "Más

Hace más de 10 años que elaboramos el vino "Más Amor". Un vino que nació como reacción a la imagen de un graffiti en una pared de Poblenou (Barcelona), pero que con el paso del tiempo ha ido más allá.

Para nosotros significaba una manera de poner en manifiesto que nos cuidáramos más los unos a los otros. En la viña trabajando en viticultura ecológica, sostenibilidad y prácticas menos agresivas, y en el día a día ayudando a aquellos que más lo necesitan.

Este año, parte de los beneficios recaudados irán destinados a la ayuda contra el cancer infantil, la asociación @leucos.byingrid y el hospital San Joan de Deu.

Gracias @wineissocial por ayudarnos a su difusión e introducir este vino en vuestra experiencia de Mayo. ¡Salud!

Working day in Terra Alta Time for shoot thinning

Working day in Terra Alta

Time for shoot thinning in Terra Alta. Nurturing the vines, all about balance...

Why do we say it is important? Simple: it helps us to maintain a healthy vineyard, but it also begins the process of selecting the clusters that will eventually be formed.

The benefits of shoot thinning are:

- It allows for better air circulation, allowing for the vine to dry out after rains or from morning dew

- There is less occurrence of downy mildew or botrytis growth

- Pests are less likely to have spaces to live, breed and shelter

- The vines are less likely to become diseased

- Quantity of fruit decreases, but the quality of the fruit increases

CURIOUS FACT: In Terra Alta, this work is called "Birbar". Did you know that?"

This small red insect with black spots is synonymo

This small red insect with black spots is synonymous of spring, joy and color, and above all, a natural pesticide! 🐞

It helps us to fight the big enemies of the vineyard. Ladybugs are our best friends as they act as natural predators against those pests that can attack the vineyard during these spring months.

In addition, they are a sign of good practices, respect and extra care in the vineyard as they are an indisputable sign of the good health of our ecosystem.

Now is the time to start preparing the new vintage

Now is the time to start preparing the new vintage of El Mago White 2020, a wine to be bottled in the coming weeks! In this new vintage we have aged the wine for a short period of time in used 500-liter barrels hoping it will give the wine a new and rounder dimension. Exciting times ahead! Only 1.500 bottles produced

EL MAGO WHITE

El Mago means “the wizard” echoing the magic of changing grapes into wine. It is also the contraction of the name of my daughter Maya and son Hugo, my 8 years old son is the master designer responsible for that unique and amazing drawing.

Humilitat was handcrafted to reflect the essence of Priorat. Appealing spicy aromas like clove and curry, aromatic herbs and a rather ripe nose displaying dried fruit notes, fig, prune and aniseed. A medium bodied wine with very good structure and aromatically complex with a hint of eucalyptus that provides to the wine an intense freshness.

LICIS

Licis is the name of a single plot located in Amandi (Lugo) where the grape variety Mencia grows on low fertile schist soils.

A parcel with steep slopes and a great sun exposure is the origin of this elegant wine. Licis shows finesse, freshness and appealing floral and fruity aromas like violets, lavender, raspberries and blackberries. Also, there are fine spiciness on the nose like crushed pepper, butterscotch and ripe red fruit. Well-balanced palate with velvety tannins and a ver nice rounded texture marrying plump plum and red berry flavours with garrigue, pepper and pain d’épicesand.

“Terroir” Poboleda Vineyard - Flora (DOQ Prior

“Terroir” Poboleda Vineyard - Flora (DOQ Priorat)

For several days now, spring seems to have arrived, the birds sing incessantly melodious sounds, also the lizards as temperature rises dare to leave their dens, while butterflies and bees are seen among the flowers looking for those with a more succulent nectar. Indeed, nature has exploded in a wide variety of colours and sounds.
Our vines have been "crying" for some time now and even some with gorged buds begin to sprout and we can see calendula formations between the rows of the vines. Fennel bushes are starting to appear on the steep slopes of the vineyard too.
Approaching the little gully that is next to some oak trees, the views of the yellow flower of some daffodils are striking. In the area where our centenary carignan is located (Planted in 1912), one can see the linaria and next to them, in a rocky and abrupt point, some pink spots as the thyme is starting to grow forming an interesting community with mosses and lichens.
All this variety of plants must be maintained by applying appropriate agricultural measures, such as minimum tillage and shallow depth, selective maintenance and clearing in the places that are necessary.
All the mentioned species have an important function in the ecological balance: they maintain the soil moisture, their roots work at different depths activating the soil microorganisms but also, when they die they will generate nutrients and other elements that will fix the underground nitrogen.
As we can see, the flora that lives in our land indicates the path that we must follow, maintaining a perfect harmony with the environment… and that, as it cannot be otherwise, will be reflected on the wines that our “terroir” produced.

EL MAGO ROSÉ

El Mago Rosé comes from a single vineyard in altitude at the village of Villalba dels Arcs grown on silt and limestone soils.

Only made on exceptional vintages, it´s a wine with no sulfites added, fresh, very pale in colour, with subtle notes of little wild strawberries, fresh acidity and a very pleasant finish.

When produced, there is only 1.000 bottles available. Unique, exclusive and delightful! ✨
