"Oriol Artigas actually came to winegrowing serendipitously. He originally wanted to be a chemist (ala Jules Chauvet), but after working a harvest in Penedès, Oriol realized that a career in a laboratory wasn’t for him and enrolled in an enology program soon after. His over-arching philosophy is to “cultivate the vineyards in the most natural and least interventionist way possible, to allow the grapes to express in the most intense way the landscape from which they come.”

"Equal parts Xarel-lo, Macabeu and parellada from young vines on sandy granite soils around Alella. Hand-harvested, , pressed whole cluster, and fermented on the skins for 5 days in plastic vat before pressing to stainless steel tanks. A portion of the wine was bottled before fermentation finished for pet nat. 10% ABV. Unfined, unfiltered, and undisgorged. No added SO2." -Jose Pastor (the importer)
