Hand-harvested from vines aged 6–35 years at 316–408 m. Grapes were destemmed and lightly macerated for six hours, fermented gently at 21 °C, then softly basket-pressed. Aged six months in stainless steel with nothing added.

Xavi and Andreu Padró have been farming organically since 2015 on clay-limestone soils around Santes Creus, working with old, indigenous vines at 240–420 m with a touch of Mediterranean influence. Since 2018 they’ve been making wines in the family basement with minimal intervention, gentle maceration, and light basket pressing, using stainless steel, fibreglass, and a few barrels or demijohns. Their wines are fresh, balanced, and expressive, capturing the character of the land and the vintage with precision and care.
