After Acústic Celler in Montsant and Ritme Celler in Priorat, Albert Jané originally of Celler Jané Ventura in Penedès surprises once again with his latest and recent personal project, this time he is back to his origins and delight us with two white wines and two red wines 100% from autochthones varieties of which he is a strong believer.

Gran Autòcton Negre 2015 is the first vintage of a red wine made from the autochthones old vines at the Finca Mas Vilella, an old traditional Catalan winery from the XVI century in the Baix Penedés and the Alt Camp in the province of Tarragona, vines overlooking the Mediterranean Sea from the hills of the majestic Sierra del Montmell.

Historic native indigenous variety, Sumoll, from very old vines of 50 to 90 years in age, growing close to the Masia on very poor soils, clay and calcareous, at an altitude of 300 and 500 meters. Manually harvested and aged in French oak barrels and Clay amphorae where it has spent 10 months, a wine with a great length, marked by its elegance, refinement and distinction. Bottled in January 2017.
