Description
PREPARATION
Grapes: Macabeo and Parellada. The only intention of Abadía de Poblet Blanco is to reflect the territory and terroir from which it comes, so during production we try to be as least interventionist as possible. The grapes are chosen at the entrance to the vineyard at the time of harvest, in small 16 kg boxes. Upon arrival at the winery, it is pressed and the Macabeo must is racked and transferred to a cement ink where it will ferment at a controlled temperature around 16oC. Once the fermentation is finished, it is transferred to extract the thickest lees, leaving the finest ones. During the first two months of aging, one battonage is done per week and from then on, static aging is carried out. The grapes used for Abadía de Poblet Blanco come from vineyards planted during the first half of the 20th century, in areas that had historically been vineyards, but in which the cultivation of cereals alternated between the rows of vines and with almond trees planted at the edge of the vineyards, thus bringing together the three typical Mediterranean crops of Conca de Barberà. controlled around 16ºC. Once the fermentation is finished, it is transferred to extract the thickest lees, leaving the wine clean for static aging in vats.
