Tanca Els Ulls is a sparkling wine made under the ancestral method, a very old method that produces sparkling wines after a single fermentation. In the ancestral method, the must begins fermenting in the tank but is bottled before it is finished, allowing the must to finish fermenting in the bottle.
Mediterranean ancestral wine, 100% Macabeo. Made by Cesc Boronat, the man behind Celler del Cesc, a small winery born in 2014, where he works the family vineyards located in the village of Nulles in El Alt Camp, Tarragona. The vineyards are cultivated organically in a respectful, environmentally conscious manner, always looking for wines that capture the essence of the surrounding landscape.
The Macabeo grapes come from the family's vineyards, "Coster de les Bruixes" and "L'Alzina", from old vines over 80 years old, growing on calcareous, loamy soils, cultivated organically, and surrounded by forest and other plantations such as hazelnut, almond, and olive trees. Due to their proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, the vines benefit from the sea breeze, which cools the vines and reflects on the wine's personality.
Elaboration:
The grapes are manually harvested and selected at the vineyards.
Bottled without added sulfite. SO₂ < 10 mg/l.
Tasting Notes:
Natural wine, 100% Mediterranean. Very expressive and fresh, with good acidity and light, fruity scents of green apple and citrus touches.
