Joan Rubio MAM Penedes White 2022 750ml

A blend of Xarello, Macabeu, Malvasía and Sumoll Blanc. It is vinified by joining the (un-pressed) must of all the grapes in the winery. Native yeast fermentation in a combination of stainless and amphora for about 4 months. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, and zero SO2. Annual production is around 1,089 bottles As a winery-wide philosophy - All the wines are made macerated on their own skins, the devatted (aka "délestage") ones are unpressed gravity. Maceration times depend on the type of wine and the characteristics of the vintage, they can range from five days to two weeks. No type of additive is added, nor are they clarified or filtered. All bottlings are certified organic and follow biodynamics in the vineyards.

After 15 years as winemaker at Recaredo, when he introduced the biodynamic concept, in 2015 Joan decided to return to the family vineyards to start his own adventure. The family estate has 8 hectares, 3 planted with cereals and olive trees and 5 of vineyards, in the towns of Santa Margarida i els Monjos, Castellví de la Marca and Vilafranca del Penedès. All of them are managed following the principles of organic farming (signed up in the organic certified by the CCPAE) and biodynamic (started in 2009).
