In the glass and in the cellar

Vintage: 2021

Grape variety: 100% Viognier

Production: 585 numbered bottles

Origin: DO Penedès, Massís del Garraf, Catalonia

Vineyard: Steep, single-vineyard vineyards in the Montombra project, organically farmed, characterized by the barren, limestone-rich karst soils of the Garraf. Manual harvesting and minimal yields.

Soils: Calcareous, stony clay soils on dolomite limestone, well drained and rich in marine fossils, typical of the karst profile of the Massís del Garraf.

Climate: 2021 was a very dry year. The vines drew on the water reserves in the soil, and the grapes still ripened well.

Vinification: Whole grapes pressed directly, 24 hours of settling. Fermented in 300-litre French oak barrels, then 3 months on the fine lees in the same barrel, with light lees stirring.

Maturation: 3 months on the fine lees in 300-litre French oak barrels

Alcohol content: 12.4% vol.

Tasting Note: Brilliant golden yellow. On the nose, elegant aromas of white stone fruit such as apricot, delicate jasmine blossoms, and a hint of honey, accompanied by chalky mineral notes. On the palate, it's fine and creamy with balanced acidity, a mineral-saline depth, and a long, harmonious finish.

Food pairing: Ideal with grilled fish, seafood, Asian cuisine, poultry with cream sauces or creamy cheese.

Can Rafols

The winery

Can Rafols

Only around 50 of this finca's 455 hectares in the Garraf Massif are planted with vines. The rest is forest, scrub and rock. Jordi Esteve carries on what Carlos Esteva started in the 1970s.

Still unsure?

Who makes the Can Ràfols wines?

Carlos Esteva began turning the estate into a winery in the 1970s and tried out many grape varieties along the way. After his death in 2023, Jordi Esteve, a long-time companion, took over the management. He keeps the same line: organic farming, hand picking, spontaneous fermentation and every plot vinified on its own.
