The grapes are farmed by Josep Ramon Alabart. This was the debut vintage for the project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe co-fermentation of Grenache with aromatic Alexandrian Muscat is an unconventional choice that pulls this wine away from the typical Terra Alta red profile.

The region's plateau vineyards are swept by the cerç (a dry northwesterly wind) and the garbí (a southeasterly sea breeze), both of which regulate vine health and extend the growing season.
