Description
Tasting notes: FERRÉ I CATASÚS – CAP DE TRONS TINTO
- View: cherry color and violet reflections.
- Nose: we highlight the red fruits as blackberries and plums.
- Mouth: presents a broad input, sweet tooth, with tannins powerful but integrated. The aftertaste is long and soothing with a lingering finish, fruit of its acidity.
The winery:
This is one of the most young and modern in the Penedès, both in terms of age -the winery is not started until the year 2000- as to the illusion that distils as the image that they give their products and facilities, where it stands out the design ground-breaking and spectacular of the labels.
Although the family had been dedicated traditionally to the viticulture in the Granada, José María Ferré and Catasús and his wife, Sonia Serrano Quetglas, started from scratch, acquiring several estates in the appellation of origin throughout the decade of the eighties, and sold their grapes to several wineries. From 1990, the dream of creating a brand of her own lived the first step, with the construction of the neomodernista Masia Gustems, distance of the highway between Vilafranca and Sant Sadurní. This building, which houses the elegant restaurant Sumoll, it is one of the great attractions of the visit to Ferre and Catasús, as well as the small but beautiful gardens that surround it.
At the beginning of this century, the time came to equip the winery with the latest technology and launching the new brand, in addition to image, has behind a productive process honest in search of the quality: working only with the grapes that produce the near 50 hectares of vineyards divided into three farms (planted with cabernet sauvignon, merlot, syrah, tempranillo, grenache, macabeo, Xarel lo, parellada, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, muscat and chenin ), have own machine to pick the grapes at the right time, have fermentation tanks for red grapes with pistons and, for cava, retain the traditional cava with a Catalan vault of the old farmhouse.
