About the Wine

Vi-Fi Negre 2021
L'Enclos de Peralba, Penedes, Red Wine

Vineyard & Viticulture

The Carignan is sourced from the Oliveres plot in Les Cabanyes, planted in 1981 at 250 meters altitude on clay loam soil. The Red Grenache grows in the Els Oliverons plot, located in Sant Pere de Ribes at 100 meters altitude on clay-limestone soil, planted in 1996. The Red Bastard is biodynamically grown in Can Mota’s vineyard, planted in 1981 at 250 meters altitude on clay loam soil.

Winemaking

The grapes are harvested on fruit or flower days and cooled overnight at 0°C. Partial destemming is carried out, leaving 10% whole bunches. Spontaneous fermentation occurs in small tanks (1,000 and 5,000 liters), followed by gentle pumping over. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 months in 500-liter barrels (new and used) and cement containers. This limited production wine of just 5,800 bottles was bottled in October 2022.
