Terroir
The 30 hectares of vineyards in MontRubí are located on mountains between 400 and 800 m.a.s.l., in the Coastal Catalan mountain range with Mediterranean climate and continental influence, in our estate of 100 hectares.
The significant thermal amplitude between day and night allows us to preserve the grapes’ acidity due to its slow maturation. Our soils, clayey-calcareous, sandy-calcareous and slate, retain the humidity from the rains and favor the plant’s resistance to the summer harshness.
These soils are not uniform, and the combination of the different textures gives the wines more complexity, character and minerality. With these characteristics, we aim at a style with focus in the fruit, the freshness and the elegance.
Types of grapes
MontRubí wines express the roots, the singularity and the traditional viticulture value. Therefore, we strongly believe that the indigenous grapes are the most adequate to express the character and identity of our land ant its culture.
The grape varieties for our whites are Xarel·lo, Macabeu and Parellada and the ones for our reds and rosés are Garnacha, Cariñena and Sumoll.
Organic and vegan wines
Our organic farming aims at protecting our environment as much as we can. The work done in the vines as well as in the winery follows the organic practices as a sign of respect for the habitat and understanding it as one of the main sources to obtain the best quality in each of our wines.
We recently went one step further and obtained the Bio and Vegan certification for our wines.
MontRubí wines are produced respecting our ancestors’ traditions and the innovation of our times, using different techniques depending on the style of wine that we want to obtain and looking for each wine’s own personality that genuinely reflects the grape with which it is produced and its territory.
The aging of our wines is done in French oak barrels, concrete eggs and artisanal clay amphoras.
