Production: A single varietal wine of White Grenache from organic based viticulture in conversion to Biodynamic. The grapes come from soils composed of quartz and clay, harvested before the point of fully ripeness, pressed directly maintaining part of the stems, naturally fermented with their own yeasts in cement and steel vats. The ageing takes place in Bocois, 500-liter French oak barrels during 10 months. Bottled unfiltered.

Tasting Notes: A wine that displays the freshest version of the white grenache, rounded off by the nuances standing out from the oak ageing. It is pure harmony, refined with balanced acidity.

“El Mas de l’A” is undoubtedly clearly focused on the search of a different Priorat. A project based on the different Red and white Grenaches growing in the enclave of La Morera de Montsant, a valley located between the small towns of Cornudella and Poboleda, this region stands out for the ideal climatic conditions, a perfect balance between north and south with an altitude of 500 meters above sea level and a rich range of soils. Opting for sustainable agriculture and viticulture, co-planting as a rule and stimulating the virtues of the youngest vines. The result is a range of very fine wines, with a lower alcohol content and silky tannins. Wines with great potential and small productions.

Mas de L’A is Alfredo Arribas’ latest project within the DOQ Priorat. Since the early starts of this wine-making adventure in 2001 with his initial project of Clos del Portal in Priorat, Alfredo has moved on focused by his passion and concern in the search for new initiatives. He developed a recovery task of old vines in the neighboring DO Montsant “Trossos”, followed by the incorporation of a project based on a range of natural wines “Vins Nus”
