Celler La Salada, Macabeo "L'Ermot" Penedès, Spain 2021

100% Macabeo.

Biodyamic and organic. This wine has a strikingly rich, viscous texture and toasty character, which comes from the age of the vines. Lemon sherbet and toasty peach define this rich but airy wine; full texture and salty acidity drive the energy.

The vineyard, over 70 years old, is located in Subirats on a north-facing slope and sits on deep soils with silt. The vineyard is not tilled; this is true minimal intervention agriculture. The objective is to have the highest variety of life in the soil and to create a natural balance within the environment.

Manual harvest in 10 kg boxes, with selection of the grapes in the vineyard. Slowly pressed 24 hours for clearing and settling. Spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel tanks with no addition of SO2 or any other product. Aged in stainless steel on the lees for 6 months. No oak. All work in cellar including bottling (unfined & unfiltered) is done according to the lunar calendar.
