Description

Hisenda Miret won a gold medal when picking the world’s best Grenache in 2016 , Garnatxa in Catalonia. Like the name of the wine, its grapes grow on the ancient Hisenda Miret estate at an altitude of 400 meters in the hills of Penedès. Hisenda Miret is biodynamically cultivated. Only a few thousand bottles of wine are produced to guarantee its premium quality. The wine is fermented well in cool 20 °C steel tanks for 4 weeks and the fermented grape juice is pumped onto the skins three times a day. Finally, the wine matures for five months in two year-old French oak casks.

The producer's responsibility focus areas

1. Agriculture: biodynamic farming, increasing biodiversity, and placing new vineyards at higher altitudes where a cooler microclimate balances rising temperatures. Additionally, using more local, drought-resistant grape varieties, reducing irrigation to save groundwater, and utilizing forests as carbon sinks.
2. Packaging: lighter bottles to reduce the carbon footprint, using more sustainable capsules and recycled materials.
3. Facilities & logistics: LED lighting and more efficient motors reduce power consumption and increase energy efficiency. Electric and hybrid cars are also in use.
