Grape Variety: Xarel Lo, Parellada, Macabeo

Producer: Ramon Jané

Region: Penedés, Catalunya, Spain.

Wild Scale: 2/5

Vegan friendly wine

Winemaking: Organic Xarel Lo, Macabeo and Parellada grapes were harvested by hand. Fermentation with indigenous yeast in stainless steel tanks. Bottled before fermentation was complete in order to create fizz in bottle (ancestral method, pet nat). No fining, filtration or added sulphur.

This Wine: A sparkling, natural wine made from the 3 classic Catalan grape varieties historically used in Cava production. This is a different method though which results in a lighter and fruitier wine. The name means "Thirsty" and a bottle of this exactly what you need when in that state. Easy drinking and more-ish with notes of apple and lemon. 

Notes on the Winemaker: Ramon Jané is one half of the esteemed Cava house Mas Candí but this wine comes from his solo project that he started in 2019 which promises some of the best value natural wines of Europe.

 

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

Ramon Jané

Viticultor Ramon Jané 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 REGION--------

Penedès

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