Ancestral Rosat - Can-Vi
Monastrell · Catalunya, Spain · 25cl
Pickup available at 3 Cornmarket Street
Usually ready in 2-4 days
Blood orange, hibiscus, and lemon cream biscuit on the nose. Fine, crisp bubbles, with a spry fruitiness on the palate lifted by a bright acidity. A great vintage for this can!
Good with: smoked salmon on brown bread, or a bowl of fresh strawberries.
Macabeu and Parellada from Blancafort, pressed over the skins of Syrah and Garnacha for colour and texture before fermentation in clay amphora over winter. The wine finishes its remaining sugars inside the 250ml can, true to the ancestral method.
The producer
Can-Vi is a canned wine project founded by Jordi Solé and Cristina Vaqué, based in Blancafort in the Conca de Barberà, with Jordi Llorens (of Celler Jordi Llorens, directly across the village) involved as collaborating winemaker. The project is built around the 250ml can, positioned as a practical, low-waste vessel that keeps wine fresh without the opened-bottle problem: "same essence, different shape." All wines are made without added sulphites, with indigenous yeasts, and are unfiltered. The Ancestral Rosat is a pétillant naturel that finishes its fermentation inside the can.
