General Information
With Abadia de Poblet La Font Voltada 2019, the winery takes us back to the early winemaking days of the Conca del Barberá, when whole clusters were used, allowing the bottles to preserve the liveliness and freshness of the wines over time. As a result of research, Abadía del Poblet emulates this production process in an elegant red wine that stands out for its pronounced fruity notes. Sourced from La Font Voltada, one of the oldest trepat vineyards of the winery, located between Sarral and Montbrió de la Marca (D.O. Conca del Barberá), on terraces with varying orientations that reach up to 600 meters in altitude.
Situated in a historical monument declared a World Heritage Site, the winery Abadia de Poblet champions the philosophy of Monastery wines, reviving local varieties and conveying the character of the grapes and the terroir in which they were cultivated. A fine example is this Abadia de Poblet La Font Voltada 2019, a wine fermented in small cement tanks, mimicking the temperature peaks typical of fermentations from the past century, without the addition of yeast and aged for 14 months in used oak barrels.
The winery
Within a historic monument, in Abadía de Poblet, the winemaking tradition of the monks of the Cistercian Order persists, a unique area that has preserved the cultivation of native varietals. The philosophy of the new monastery wines revives local varietals (trepat, garrut, and garnatxa primarily), enhancing the grapes used in their production and the terroir where they have been cultivated.
