Description
Mas Candí was founded in 2006 by friends Ramon Jané, Mercè Cuscó, Toni Carbó, and Ana Serra—a group of growers deeply respected throughout their home region. They are some of the first to break with tradition in the Penedès, where nearly all farmers must sell their fruit to massive Cava houses to survive. They immediately began to shift to natural farming; & in their old-vine vineyards chemical inputs have been eliminated; emphasis is on gentle, manual handling of fruit throughout the process, and the goal is taking the sparkling wines of the Penedès to a higher quality. This sparking is exceptional—notes of baked white fruit, zippy minerality, with insane complexity & freshness.
