Suriol Castell de Grabuac Brut Nature 2022

Profile & Story

The Suriol family has farmed the Castell de Grabuac, a masia in the Penedes hills, since 1174, and has been certified organic since 1996. The Castell de Grabuac is a traditional-method sparkling wine from Macabeu, Xarel-lo and Parellada grown between 250 and 320 metres on clay-limestone soils over calcareous rock, on a gentle 5% slope. Each variety is picked in the morning and vinified separately: direct pressing, spontaneous settling in underground vats, then fermentation with indigenous yeasts and bacteria followed by four months on the lees in buried tanks. Bottled by the traditional method in April 2022, the wine then spent more than eighteen months on its lees in bottle. Brut Nature, with no dosage and no additives.
