- Background
"In 2007, after farming grapes for several years and selling to other winemakers, Jordi Miró & Sònia Gomà-Camps decided to start making wines under their family name. Two years later they built a small winery and cellar in their village, where they currently farm 9.3 hectares of vines spread amongst 5 vineyard sites. They knew that they should work organically & biodynamically from the start, in order to produce the best wines that truly represent the unity of their people and their land. They use only sulfur and biodynamic treatments in their vineyards, and add nothing in the cellar.
The town of Barberà de la Conca is 20 miles inland from Tarragona and the Mediterranean Sea. This village is the epicenter (and identity) of the Trepat grape, therefore all of the wines that Jordi and Sònia produce are either entirely or partially Trepat-based.
El Petit Carlania is made from 30 to 40 year old Trepat grown biodynamically between 400 and 500 meters elevation on calcareous-clay soils. After hand harvesting, the grapes were mostly destemmed and fermented in steel vats with a 15 day maceration with a small portion of the cuvée seeing some carbonic maceration, then raised over the winter in tank. The finished wine was bottled the following spring without fining, filtration or added SO2. This is a gorgeously aromatic and vibrant tinto joven, with a bouquet of red fruit, citrus blossom, and white pepper - pure and lithe on the palate with the same mouth-coating flavors as on the nose. Enjoy it with Mediterranean fare, such as pa amb tomàquet and Botifarra." - Jose Pastor Selections
