The vineyard

This vineyard lies within the estate of Sant Patrici, very near the town of Ferreries. Its soils, situated at 100 m above sea-level, are watered by a local stream and are calcareous-clayey in nature. Since 2000, almost 2 ha of land have been devoted to vines (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah) growing on espaliers on terraces due to the slope of the land. The end of each row of vines is decorated with a rosebush, which serves to detect diseases such as powdery mildew before they attack the vines.

The red wines are matured in barrels of American and French oak

The bodega

Hort de Sant Patrici is a small well-run family concern that has commercialized its wines since 2008. They produce around 8,000 bottles per year that are mainly sold on the local market; nevertheless, they are beginning to export a small part of their production to countries in central and northern Europe. The bodega, installed in an old animal-house, is equipped with fully up-to-date machinery and can be visited all-year around (tel.: 971 37 37 02).

The wines

The wines, two reds and a rosé, are produced exclusively from grapes from the Hort Sant Patrici estate.
• Hort Merlot:
A red crianza, produced using only Merlot grapes. Matured in barrels of French and American oak for six months.
• Hort Cupatge:
A red crianza, produced using Cabernet Sauvignon grapes complemented with a touch of Merlot. Matured in barrels of French and American oak for 12 months.
• Cayetana:
A young rosé, initially produced using mainly Syrah with a touch of Merlot. However, the eventual aim is to produce a rosé with just Syrah grapes once the production of this variety has increased sufficiently.

How to get there

To get there, take the road of the same name from the roundabout on the main road that also takes you to the local industrial estate and the town’s only petrol-station.

Transport públicAccés a peuThere is a regular bus service to Ferreries from where you can walk the remaining 2 km to Sant Patrici. Check out bus times and frequencies (that vary according to the season).
