Cau d’en Genis

Alta Alella is family-run and fully organically farmed winery. It has a deep knowledge of its terrain and understands every corner of its vineyards. It values every single grapevines’ roots. Only through this esteem, can the Pujol-Busquets Guillén family keep their commitment and demonstrate their love for the land. The estate is just two kilometres away from the Mediterranean Sea and the vineyards are planted on slopes and terraces between 100 and 250m above sea level. The vines are grown on Sauló soil which is one of the most important elements that define the wines from Alta Alella: an acidic white granite-based sandy soil with low limestone content, low organic matter and good natural water drainage.

The saline expression of a single vineyard overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Selection from the estate’s oldest parcel, its ageing on lees gives to the wine a strong expression of the vintage. The quintessence of what a premium wine made from Pensa Blanca (Xarel lo) should be: fresh attack of white fruit notes, hints of fennel, salty, mineral and silky with a long and elegant aftertaste.
