The Mas Igneus FA 112 is 60% Garnatxa Negra, 30% Carinyena, 10% Cabernet. It was aged 12 months in new French Allier Oak casks.
Produced from steep old vineyards with an average age of around 60 years. Yields are kept to just 500g per vine. Vintage starts at the beginning of October and grapes are selected by hand and transported to the cellar in 20 Kg. cases. The fermentation-maceration takes place in stainless steel vats and lasts for 45 days at a temperature of 26ºC. After this process the wine goes into new barriques of French Allier oak for 12 months where malolactic fermentation takes place. No finings nor cold treatments are done.
These processes are guaranteed by the Catalan Council for Ecological Farming. Wine suitable for Vegans
Mas Igneus was founded in 1996, the result of a joint venture between Josep Maria Albet, Josep Maria Pujol-Busquets and initially the Poboleda Cooperative. In 2004, the cooperative left the society and Mas Igneus, together with a group of committed organic farmers from Poboleda and Porrera, moved... to its new and definitive home in a purpose built cellar at their Costers de l'Ermita estate just outside Gratallop At Mas Igneus, we currently have 3 estates comprising some 11 hectares of vineyards, as well as working with a small group of committed organic growers in Poboleda. All of our own vineyard and the vast majority of our collaborators' vineyards are certified organic estates. The most widely planted varieties are Garnatxa Negra and Carinyena, although we also have some newer plantations of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. For our white wines we have Garnatxa Blanca and Moscatell at our own estates, and Pedro Ximenes and Macabeu at our growers' estates in Poboleda. Our three estates are Costers de l'Ermita in Gratallops (where the cellar is located), Finca Comellars in Poboleda and Finca La Salanca in Torroja.
