Uses and pairing

A gastronomic Corpinnat ideal for oysters, seafood, noble fish, high-expression Mediterranean cuisine, and dishes with white truffle. It also pairs magnificently with aged cheeses and recipes where texture and minerality are protagonists.

Authenticity and origin

The landscape of Sant Sebastià dels Gorgs, located on the northern face of the Serralada Litoral, offers some of the oldest and most mineral soils in the Penedès. Formed millions of years ago from marine sediments and calcareous fossils, they provide the wines with a marked saline identity and extraordinary tension.

AT Roca cultivates these old vines following the principles of traditional dryland Mediterranean viticulture, opting for regenerative practices and artisanal production where time plays an essential role. Vinyes Velles is a demonstration of the full potential of Macabeu when cultivated in its origin and allowed to evolve slowly.
