Celler Vendrell i Rived is a family-owned winery founded in 2000, headed up by a husband and wife team: Josep Maria Vendrell and Núria Barceló. The family vineyards are located in the little village of Marçà within the D.O. Montsant, in southwestern Catalonia (North-eastern Spain).
 
The grapes, Grenache and Carignan, are sourced from the family’s oldest vineyards, planted by their ancestors. Josep controls the vineyards every day to understand the needs of every single vine. Josep Maria and Núria are working towards leaving a better legacy for their three children, focusing on achieving high-quality wines loaded with personality and self-expression.
 
Serè is a dry wind that comes from the interior of the Iberian peninsula preventing the development of fungal diseases as it ventilates the vines and dries them out. The label reflects the tribute to the elderly people, the ones who planted the varieties Garnatxa and Carinyena that adapted very well in the Montsant region. Blend of Garnatxa and Carinyena grapes (50-50) in a clay soil that provides with more concentration of flavors. Garnatxa is vinified in September and Carinyena in October, both de-stemmed and left in contact with skins for 20 days, doing two pumping overs per day. After fermenting in inox it aged in 6 year old 225 French oak barrels for 5 months. 800 bottles produced.
