Albet i Noya in Sant Pau d'Ordal
The Albet family have been making wine in Penedes since the early 20th
century. Since 1979 the two brothers Josep Maria and Antoni Albet i Noya
run the wine business together. The same year marked their conversion to
ecological agriculture. They make high class Tempranillo and Cabernet
Sauvignon wines and also experiment with almost forgotten and disappeared
Catalonian grape varieties in collaboration with Torres.

Not a very exciting view. The interesting thing is that this is a vineyard with regrafted vines The new grafts are Marcellan which is a cross between Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Before the re-graft it was Syrah
