Mas de la Sabatera
Mas de la Sabatera is a small family business in Conca de Barberà, a picturesque valley in Catalonia. The origins of the "Mas" date back to the 15th century, when a farming community settled there. After a long period of neglect in the 20th century, this place has now been brought back to life thanks to Xavi and his son Edu Pallarés, who decided to restore value to the family vineyards and the history surrounding them. A process of restoring the best plots of land has therefore taken shape. Mas de la Sabatera is, first and foremost, a story of roots, of return and of respect for a centuries-old agricultural heritage.
In the vineyard and in the cellar, the work follows a philosophy of minimal intervention, consisting of concrete, daily actions. The grapes come exclusively from the vineyards surrounding the Mas and are cultivated with great attention to the natural balance of the ecosystem. Here, technology is not an end in itself, but simply a tool to enhance artisanal, conscious viticulture that is deeply connected to the natural rhythm of the seasons. The harvest is manual, fermentation in the cellar is spontaneous and the approach generally avoids any invasive practices: all this to accompany the wine on its journey.
Mas de la Sabatera wines are a faithful reflection of this approach: sincere, vibrant, never contrived. In the glass, they tell the story of Conca de Barberà with fresh, dynamic and territorial profiles, where fruit is always at the centre. Trepat and other native varieties are crafted to produce wines of finesse, tension and elegant rusticity, all with a rebellious spirit that speaks as much of this territory as of the hands that produce them. The Pallarés family speaks of the countryside, the wind and the Mediterranean with a glass of their wine, providing a candid and contemporary interpretation of a territory waiting to be discovered.
