Perfect conditions for Can Bas D'Origen P5 Muscat de Gra Petit
Can Bas D'Origen P5 Muscat de Gra Petit is a wine made from Muscat grapes grown in deep, sandy loam soils up to 120 cm deep. This soil condition has two important properties: good drainage and water retention. It allows the soil to drain well, preventing excess moisture from stagnating, while simultaneously retaining water to provide moisture to the vines. D'Origen wines, including Can Bas D'Origen P5 Muscat de Gra Petit, are young, varietal wines from single vineyards. They are deeply rooted in the land and represent the essence of the origin and terroir. This means the wine has a strong connection to the specific location where the grapes are grown, and the character of the wine is influenced by the characteristics of the terroir.
The Muscat de Gra Petit grapes are harvested entirely by hand. Twenty percent of the wine is then aged for six months in French oak barrels, while the remaining 80 percent is aged in stainless steel tanks. This two-step aging process contributes to the wine's complexity and texture. The use of French oak barrels adds subtle woody aromas and vanilla notes, while the stainless steel aging preserves the freshness and fruity expression of the Muscat grape.
