The MontRub\u00ed winery is located in l\u2019Avell\u00e0, a small neighborhood in the municipality of Font-rub\u00ed, in the highest part of the Alt Pened\u00e8s. This summer they have opened a hotel as a complement to the winemaking and to the restaurant, which have been running for a year.<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

The winery was founded in 1984. The grandmother and father of Alejo Peris, the current owner, and manager of <\/span>MontRub\u00ed<\/span><\/a>, were pharmacists who had always liked the world of winemaking. Their desire to make a good wine determined them to open a winery. The reason why this winery is located in l\u2019Avell\u00e0 is due to the fact that the grandmother was a close friend of Paquita Mir\u00f3 Feixes, owner of several farms in this area. Grandmother and father acquired land from the Mir\u00f3 family, as well as several buildings, where they located the winery. With the help of winemaker Josep Queralt, they started the project 35 years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Pioneers worldwide<\/b><\/h3>\n

MontRub\u00ed currently cultivates 50 hectares of vineyards. When they started producing they did it through cava. Alejo Peris tells us that by the time of Barcelona Olympic Games, <\/span>in 1992, the cava sector experienced a surge<\/b>, but, years later, the great competition and good products on the market, added to price devaluation, forced many small companies to close doors or to reshape: “We reinvented ourselves and began to bet on the recovery of indigenous varieties,” says Alejo Peris.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1998, they began researching the native variety of Sumoll and two years later they produced <\/span>the first 100% Sumoll wine in the world<\/b>. “It’s our flagship product, and it’s called Gaitus,” says Peris, who explains that Sumoll “is not an easy grape to work with, neither to sell.” But when they decided to recover the Sumoll and make the first monovarietal wine out of this autochthonous grape, \u201cthat was the moment when our philosophy as a winery was born”.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
