We all
know the difficulties involved in the production of single-variety wines
and complexity that consists in maintaining their quality year after
year. But meeting this challenge lets us enjoy the authenticity of
flavours and aromas of the grapes vinified with these criteria. MAS
RODÓ, located in the Alt Penedès in Spain at 500m above sea level, only
produces wines from the grapes of their own crops located on ventilated
hillsides. Our estate offers three types of soil: stony, sandy
limestone, and clay. With these characteristics and water stress, we
make the vines get the maximum mineralization from the root, the soil
and its living micro organisms, because, by concept, we don’t use any
kind of herbicides. |
