THE INTERPRETATION OF AN ORIGIN

Mas del Serral is a pathway with a single destination: the origin. When we distance ourselves from our roots, we are able to reflect about the place we come from, there where our identity was shaped, where we learnt to dream as children and where fears were nothing more than horizons to cross. Perhaps this is what happened to Joan Miró when, in 1922, he was staying in Paris and painted La Masía, The Farm, the painting where he paid homage to the country house in Mont-Roig del Camp where he learnt to draw when he was three years old. Similarly, observing the painting by Miró in the National Gallery during a key time when he was far from home, Pepe Raventós realised that his dream was to restore Mas del Serral to its origins: traditional agriculture based on the harmony between nature, animals and mankind and the evidence that, as the painter said,

"to be universal you have to be radically local"

FIVE YEARS ON…

There are moments in life when you have to look back. Without losing sight of the horizon but reflecting on each step we have taken. Moments that help you to value the passing of time… Such as the time taken to make this wine, the time for its ageing. Or even the time needed to bring a vision to pass, such as the vision that began in 2005 when we realised that the family plot of Clos del Serral was quite exceptional, and we decided to work it and take care of it as if it were a garden. A time, a plot, a vintage. All of these make Mas del Serral unique. A memory that brings a smile to our faces when we realise that, after ten years of ageing, it could still age 25 more. This is our essence. This is our path. A path with a single destination: its origin.

"Mas del Serral is a wine of sun and shade. Of sun because of where it comes from. Because of its territory and the power it shows in tasting. And of shade because of time, stillness, space and rest"

"The magic of wine lies in the power of taking you to the place where it was made; it takes you on a journey to its origins"
"Our aim is to express the maximum potential of the plot: austerity, Xarel·lo, salinity and minerality. It is only when we fully discover this potential that we can interpret Mas del Serral"
"Mas del Serral is where the past and future meet; offering something lasting in the future but also working on it with the ways of yesteryear"

The wines

For centuries, the hands working the land at Clos del Serral have searched for something much deeper than fruit: they have sought to uncover its origins. Interpreting this place has always been their true purpose. It requires an understanding of the influence of marine soils, the dance of the winds, the force of the rain and the harshness of the cold, all while listening to the wise words of the folk who inhabit the territory. To reach this understanding, silence and knowing how to listen are crucial. Only then do authenticity and truth emerge. And from that truth, the wines of Clos del Serral are born: wines that embody the vintage, the landscape and the time demanded by their place of origin.

The wine

MAS DEL SERRAL
2014

The vintage started with a warm autumn and winter, with the usual rainfall for this period. Bud break was early on March 25. Spring was as usual, with occasional rains that helped the vines to develop. On May 29, the vineyard was in full bloom. The dry and cool summer extended the cycle, resulting in good and long ripening. After harvest it rained 90 mm.

"This is a wine that needs time. Time in the glass, time in the bottle, time in the cellar... Even time for yourself. Time to enjoy it."
"It is this adaptation of xarel·lo to our climate that, in generous vintages, yields expressive wines that also show tension, verticality, and ageing potential—as this Mas del Serral proves 11 years later."
"The site takes strength, ahead of you.
The significance of the Clos Petit is that you belong to it, but it does not belong to you."
"The 2013 vintage is one that I think will go down in history, the last great vintage at the estate. A vintage that reaffirms the importance of working the vineyards as our grandparents did: with the utmost respect, rigor and love."
"2014, a typically Mediterranean vintage. A concentrated wine, generous wine, expressive wine, xarel·lo, fennel, spicy, saline... without losing freshness."
"Authenticity is not found, it finds you. It is the place that makes you its own. To become rooted in the place is to feel part of the place, in a way, to learn to love it. It is the responsibility to work it. It is to feel that you are passing through. It is the contradiction that you belong, but you are just passing through. It is not yours."
