Alta Alella Dolç Mataró
Alella, Spain
Mataró , Monastrell
Patience is the secret behind this dessert wine. First, the grapes are left to hang until they are just short of drying out. This is followed by a long skin soaking of no less than 6 months! The result is this smooth, rich wine.

About the winemaker
"Alta Alella is a real family project. Together with my wife and two daughters we started in 1991. Since then we have worked very hard to prepare our vineyards for making Cava, white and red wine. convinced to continue our dream. We have been doing this completely organically from the start with all due respect for our environment. In the course of our adventure, we have also set up a special cellar for making natural wines."

Alella, Spain
Mourvèdre is an originally Catalan grape variety, which is called mataró in Catalan and is better known in Spain as monastrell. These spicy grapes with spicy aromas and thick skins are harvested overripe for this wine, so that they develop a lot of sugars and retain their own tannin. The DO Alella is extremely close to Barcelona. It lies on a unique surface, called Sauló by the Catalans themselves. This consists of a mixture of granite and sand that retains the heat well. This way the grapes ripen even more!
