ABOUT THIS WINE
The Serres Velles Macabeu is a 100% Macabeu wine from the D.O. Penedès region of Catalonia, Spain. Produced by the family-owned winery HMR Mont Rubí, established in 1984, the grapes are sourced from their oldest vineyards, planted in 1994. Mont Rubí is dedicated to indigenous grape varieties and organic farming practices. The wine's production involves a selective harvest in two stages to balance freshness and complexity, followed by aging in French oak barrels. The vineyards are situated between 400 and 800 meters above sea level on calcareous soils.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Serres Velles Macabeu is produced from 100% Macabeu grapes. The winemaking process begins with a dual-stage harvest from old vineyards, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged for 4 to 6 months on its lees and subsequently for 4 months in new 500-liter French oak barrels. Mont Rubí employs organic farming practices in its vineyards.
