Overview

By blending old vine Garnatxa Blanca with a small portion of younger vine fruit, Rafa and Nuria can capture the rich concentration of the variety while retaining a lively and vigorous acidity. La Musaranya is the name for the shrews that returned to their vineyards once they switched to organic farming. They not only eat vineyard pests and aerate the soils, but they also indicate the return of biodiversity to their land.
