Adega Eidos Padrinan Albarino 2019
Adega Eidos Padrinan Albarino 2019Adega Eidos Padrinan Albarino 2019 Founded in 2000 by local growers, Adega Eidos produces Albariño from grapes grown exclusively in and among the gardens of Sanxenxo in the parish of Padriñán, located at the southern extreme of Rías Baixas’ Val do Salnes subdistrict. The ‘Eidos’ (garden arbors) in Sanxenxo – 100 acres of which Adega Eidos owns – are traditionally trained, are almost always ungrafted, and are over 50 years of age.
Since 2003, winemaking has taken place in a winemaking facility of efficient and modern design overlooking Sanxenxo harbos. Selected bunches are brought the short distance in small crates, and are then sorted before the de-stemming, crushing and cold maceration processes. Natural yeasts undergo temperature control to achieve long fermentations and natural clarification, and the wines are left on their fine lees until bottling. Eidos de Padriñán is considered to be the primary wine of the larger estate, as it offers ripe and extracted Albariño fruit with clear mineral notes from the sea breeze and granitic soil.
Canxa Cava Brut NV Penedes Spain
Canxa Cava Brut NV Penedes SpainWinemaker – Luis Raventós
Organically farmed and made in the laborious Methode Champenoise process, the ‘Can Xa’ is full of lemon and clementine notes, and has a subtle fresh biscuit aroma.The palate is zesty and fresh with fine bubbles on the mid-palate, with a classically brut, refreshingly dry, finish.
Along the Catalan coast just south of Barcelona and located only a few miles from the town of Vilafranca del Penedes, The Emendis Estate consists of 48 hectares of clayey soil, although naturally low in organic material and chalk, it has a high magnesium content which brings the necessary acidity to maintain the fresh taste of the Cava wines .
Penedès has long been the home to the best Cava. This is where the winemakers of Champagne came after crossing the Pyrenees, trying to stay one step ahead of the phylloxera blight, to make sparkling wine with the regional native grapes of Macabeo, Xarel- lo and Parellada.
The Emendis Estate is one of the hidden gems in Penedès that has grown grapes and made wine since 1186. The name ‘Emendis’ is a tribute to the name of the first record of a woman farming the land and growing grapes more than 800 years ago.
The traditional Masía building is now a modern cellar where the wines and cava are both produced and aged.

The Wine
Vibrant, mineral-driven citrus and orchard fruit aromas are complemented by honeysuckle, ginger and a touch of quinine. On the palate, bitter pear skin and Meyer lemon flavors show very good depth and vivacity, along with a firming jolt of smoky minerality. The finish unwinds slowly, showing excellent concentration, persistence and lingering floral character.

At Ronadelles we produce wines for every occasion of your life, because the place is here and the time is now. We believe in your opinion, in your intuition and in what you like, because the best wine is the one that makes you enjoy each moment. This, along with quality, are our paths to follow.
We follow the biodynamic calendar and we respect nature. We love the vineyard and the land because it is part of us and because the result we obtain is the best prize: exceptional quality wines.
Biodynamic agriculture goes beyond ecological agriculture since, in addition, it also considers that the plant is linked to the expression of a Solar and Planetary System with particular impact on all life that develops on Earth. This type of agriculture highlights the importance of the relationship that the plant has with the whole energy system that surrounds it, i.e. the connection between the plant and the matrix of life.
The fact that our vines are in an environment of such limited extension, with several soil types and reliefs, makes it possible to produce different types of wines, always highlighting in each one of them its uniqueness and personality Following these principles, we create current wines, that look to the past and our grandparents’ way of doing things with pride. Attractive, fresh, perfumed, harmonious, exquisite wines… full of virtue.
For us the elaboration of wines is like breathing, which fills us, a passion… a romance. Which is why we consider ourselves fortunate.
The White Guineu d’Argent is a fresh, intense and fruity wine. Straw-colored with light golden tones. In the mouth it is elegant and voluptuous. We can define it as a white wine with a Mediterranean character.
It is a broken wine, due to the maceration of the must with the skins during fermentation. We can define it as an elegant and original wine. The antiquity of the vineyards, the fermentation of White Grenache with its skins and the careful work of vinification of the varieties separately have allowed the creation of an elegant blend of good aromatic intensity, where we not only find the main aromas such as apple and pear but in the background we can also enjoy some more exotic aromas such as peach and banana.
