L’Apical Coll de la Sitja 2020
Macabeo is a very useful variety for sparkling wine production. This was our first bet at the beginning of our project. It’s our first wine, that is why we feel a profound respect for this variety. It is not very used for quiet wines. Increasingly, more people dare to work with it and we are happy for that. Our macabeo comes from ancient clones vineyards. This is very important for us and for the result of our wine, since these vineyards were seeded approximately in 1967. In those days small bunches of grapes with thick skin were grown, which are very different from today’s clones plantations.
Varieties: Over 35 years old Macabeu, Llorenç del Penedès, Tarragona. Ecological agriculture not certified.

Hand-picking harvest pressed without maceration takes place. At the end of the fermentation process, it is aged in new and old French oak barrels (300 litres) for 4 or 5 months, with regular batônnages (every week). This process has the role to preserve the quality of wine and to evolve within the barrels. Finally, we let the wine rest for 1 year within the bottle, in order to get the right acidity and the perfect oak barrel and fruit flavours.
