Two friends named Joan make this dream possible, Aart Jan Hemmink and Joan Rubió.
It is a wine that comes from two Macabeu vineyards, both of 0.5 hectares, planted in 1985 and 1988. Grapes are hand harvested and macerated for 5 days in stainless steel tanks. It is devatted by gravity, without pressing and aged for 4 months in amphorae plus 6 months in tank. Annual production is around 2,450 bottles.
Of all the Macabeu out there, this is a much more fresh and fruit-forward expression of the variety - what they are looking for in fact. Linear, direct and bright, rather exquisite in the glass!
