Celler els Mecanismes

Vineyard & Cellar Work

All our wines are made from purchased fruit (négociant model). Our Som wines (Bombolles and Riure) come from a single plot of Macabeu planted in 1968 in Vilafranca del Penedès, on clay-limestone soil; fermentation is spontaneous and the wines are vinified in stainless steel tanks. Andròmina is produced at the La Furtiva winery in Vilalba dels Arcs, Terra Alta, from Carinyena: semi-carbonic maceration with whole clusters for 5 days, followed by gentle pressing; fermented in its own tanks, racked and aged in the same tanks (2/3 in chestnut foudres under flor, 1/3 in stainless steel) for a minimum of 6 months, plus 3 months of bottle ageing before release.

Certifications

We hold no organic/biodynamic certification. Most of our growers farm organically but are not certified. None of our wines are produced under a Designation of Origin; they are released as table wine.
