ABOUT THIS WINE
The Montrubi Advent Samsó 2019 is a naturally sweet red wine from the D.O. Penedès, produced by HMR Mont Rubí using 100% Carignan grapes. Its distinctiveness stems from the rare occurrence of noble rot (Botrytis cinerea) affecting the red grapes, a process that concentrates their sugars and flavors. HMR Mont Rubí is a family winery founded in 1984, committed to organic viticulture and expressing the character of indigenous varietals from their high-altitude estate in Penedès, Catalonia.
