Origin:
The Can Fontanals Estate. Organic viticulture, Vineyards of Macabeo, Xarel·lo and Parellada, planted from 1978 until 1988, cultivated in trellises. The soils are deep and well drained with a loamy, loamy-silty texture with small accumulations of calcium carbonate, which will ensure a balanced harvest even in years of drought.
Harvest:
A harvest defined by exceptionally low rainfall, with only 197 mm com pared to a historical average of over 500 mm, generating severe water stress from the beginning of the vegetative cycle. In the field, the year was charac terized by minimal intervention and excellent plant health, with no appear ance of diseases, although the vines had to endure extreme heat and a prolonged lack of water that affected their development. The harvest began early to prevent further stress on the plants and progressed quickly, com pleting in an unusually short period. Despite the water limitations, the grapes reached a remarkable level of quality, although yields were very low. Overall, the vintage can be considered of excellent quality but marked by clearly insufficient production and profoundly influenced by extreme weather conditions.
