The Producer
Bodegas Albet i Noya
In 1903, during the phylloxera crisis, great great grandfather Joan Albet i Rovirosa arrived in the Penedès to work the vineyards at the Can Vendrell de la Codina estate, in Sant Pau d'Ordal. For five generations, the Albet family, tenant farmers of Can Vendrell, have farmed, loved and watched over the vines that are now the protagonists of their wines. Albet i Noya became pioneers in organically farmed wines in Spain in 1978 and have since dedicated strong efforts into researching and recovering of ancestral varieites (like the "new varieties" used for the elaboration of their outstanding wine Albet) and varieties with enhanced resistance against vine diseases (translated into their new white wine La Volada).
