--------THE PRODUCER--------

Ramon Jané

Viticultor Ramon Jane creates forward thinking, soulfully gratifying wines that showcase the intuitive brilliance of his superb biodynamic fruit and push the boundaries of tradition in his native Penedès. Ramon is a viticultor, or winegrower, in the purest sense, tending his families vines with vision, wisdom, and care, shepherding them to their polished, delicious bottled state with restrained technique and patience. In addition to Mas Candi (Ramon and his best friend / oenologist Toni Carno’s label), Roman starts bottling under his own name in 2019 for his most avant-garde projects.  Viticultor Ramon Jane opens the door to building a brand that demonstrates the truth of what’s been the case all along.  Mas Candi is Ramon and Toni’s visionary intellectual oeuvre, both defining and setting the bar for the best of postmodern Penedès.  Viticultor Ramon Jane is the soul of Ramon: contemplation, birdsong, observation.  They also both come together to make some of the most exciting new classics of Penedès.  They pushed the envelope in the mainstream, and now they push it in gloustream, together and separate. 

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Xarel.lo and Parellada

Grenache Blanc is the white counterpart to the better-known: Grenache. Just as Grenache is also known as Garnacha, this is also known as Garnacha Blanca. Historically it is best known as one of the under-rated Rhone Valley white grapes that can be used in the white blends of the Southern Rhone.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Penedès

Penedès is the vast region in northeastern Spain. The fair majority of Penedès' claim to fame it from the 'Champagne of Spain', Cava. Cava is a sparkling wine that is made in the same way as Champagne (bottle-fermented/methode traditionelle) just with Spanish grape varietals. Those white grape varieties are: Xarel-lo, Parellada and Macabeu, and Tempranillo and Garnacha can be used for the rosés.
