Celler La Salada Penedes El Pages Content Orange 2023 750ml

Biodynamic. 85% Macabeu, 10% Xarel.lo, 5% Sumoll. Two weeks’ worth of whole-cluster fermentation and maceration; afterward, pressed off to finish fermentation inside a cairons, a large, old-school Catalan underground fermenter lined with tile, used by previous generations of La Salada family and recovered in 2018. Aged for six months in stainless steel tanks afterward. Both the Pagès Content blanc and orange come from the same plots of vineyards each year, though percentages vary. Both wines are always based on Macabeu, Xarel.lo and Montònec (Parellada); these are the majority of the vineyards at La Salada. In general, the Pagès Content wines are meant to honor the Catalan farming families of the past who worked the land as a vocation with enthusiasm and love. They’re the inspiration for these easygoing wines, based on whichever fruit the year grants. Unfined, unfiltered, zero SO2 added.
