Les Margues belongs to the range of wines under Alfredo Arribas' latest project, "El Mas de l'A". A dry white wine where strength and freshness go hand in hand, two qualities that are commonly dissociated, and is made possible in this case thanks to the particularities of the terroir where they grow, calcareous and clay soils.
Production:
Les Margues is a blend of white and grey grenaches of limited production that have gone through a very brief maceration. Afterwards, it starts fermentation in steel vats and finishes in 500L Bocois, where it will remain for another 12 months. Bottled unfiltered.
"El Mas de l’A" is undoubtedly clearly focused on the search for a different Priorat. A project based on the different red and white Grenache grapes 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 its ideal climatic conditions, a perfect balance between north and south, 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.
In the neighbouring DO Montsant "Trossos", Alfredo developed a recovery task for old vines. This was followed by the incorporation of a project based on a range of natural wines under the name of "Vins Nus".
