La Rumbera is a natural white wine, one of Oriol's first wines, considered the winery's flagship, and a wine that clearly represents the philosophy of its creator of low-impact. The wine is a single-varietal Pansa Blanca, a blend of grapes sourced from vineyards between 35-80 years old, with soils composed of granitic sands and quaternary alluvial terraces with fossils and in close proximity to the Mediterranean.
Production:
Harvested by hand, 80% destemmed grapes, crushed and pressed, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The wine spends 9 months in stainless steel tanks. Bottled without clarifying or filtering and without added sulphites.
The wine is sold without any appellation of Origin. SO2: <2 mg/l.
Tasting Notes:
Natural, unfiltered wine. A wine with a Mediterranean character, fresh and lively. White fruit, floral, and slightly saline aromas. Suitable for vegans.
THE WINERY
Oriol Artigas is a young vigneron with clear ideas and a firm determination to produce wines that adhere to his philosophy of minimal intervention. He follows the pattern of many young winemakers like himself, who, after having worked elsewhere, return to their own place to start their own project and, with plenty of experience, great talent, and a restless spirit, manage to succeed in creating unique and personal wines.
Oriol returns to his hometown, the small village of Vilassar de Dalt in the Alella region, just a few kilometres north of Barcelona, to the terroir he knows so well and sees great potential for his personal project.
A firm supporter of organic farming, he cultivates the vineyard in the most natural way possible: harvested by hand, spontaneous fermentations with indigenous yeasts, ageing in stainless steel vats, and will never add sulphur. At the Bodega Mas Pellisser, Oriol is making a wide range of wines and still adding more; all of them are honest, straight-forward wines with a marked Mediterranean character.
