STORY BEHIND THIS WINE

Somewhat overshadowed by it’s near neighbour Priorat, the Penedès appellation is continuing to make a name for itself. This is thanks in large part to a new generation of winemakers who wish to fully realise the potential of the region’s indigenous grapes. The philosophy at Mont Rubí is one of traditional and sustainable viticulture. While Garnacha will be familiar to many, Xarel-lo and Sumoll are less so. Sumoll was on the verge of extinction until the producers at MontRubí decided to save it. They are now considered as its supreme exponents.
