About Mas Candí Cap de Pardals Ancestral

Increasingly, winelovers are coming to the realization that a return to traditional methods is not indicative of fanciful thinking. Under this philosophy, Mas Candí and its Cap de Pardals Ancestral (Catalan for "head of sparrows"), a sparkling rosé produced using the ancestral method with the endangered mandó grape variety, were born in the heart of Penedès (Catalonia).

Ramon Galimany, Toni Carbó, Mercè Cuscó, and Ramon Jané are four daring young individuals who have come together under the Mas Candí label with a unified aim: to cultivate their grandfathers' vineyards in the same manner as they were traditionally farmed, and to create wines that are in true harmony with the landscape that has nurtured them. To this end, they first focus on reviving native grape varieties on the brink of disappearance and cultivate their land without chemicals, employing entirely artisanal methods.

In the winery, the manually harvested grapes are vinified according to the ancestral method. This process begins with a 2-hour maceration in the press, followed by gentle pressing before initiating the alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Before the fermentation of Mas Candí Cap de Pardals Ancestral is complete, it is bottled to finish fermenting within the bottle. There, it rests on its fine lees for 12 months prior to release.

Thanks to this ancient yet highly contemporary ancestral method, also known as Pétillant Naturel, we can savor Mas Candí Cap de Pardals Ancestral, a natural sparkling rosé wine that, while not conforming to any specific D.O., encapsulates the quintessence of Penedès.
