L’Enclòs de Peralba — ‘the enclosed vineyard of Peralba’ — is a single parcel of just 0.72 hectares at 266 metres altitude on clay soils in the Penedès, planted entirely with Malvasía de Sitges, a variety historically grown on the coast around Sitges for sweet wines; here it is made as a Pét-Nat.

The wine is made by direct press at 60% extraction, followed by two days of cold settling before spontaneous fermentation begins without any additions. It is bottled before that fermentation completes (méthode ancestrale), so the CO₂ it produces stays in the bottle, with no secondary fermentation and no disgorgement.

L’Enclòs de Peralba Pét-Nat 2025

This sparkling wine from Spain’s Catalonia region is a distinctive expression of Malvasía. The 2025 vintage is crafted from a single, unique parcel named L’Enclòs de Peralba, which translates to “the fenced vineyard of Peralba.” Spanning just 0.72 hectares at an altitude of 266 meters, this site features clay soils that contribute to the wine’s character. The appellation is officially designated as Penedès.

The grape variety used is 100% Malvasía de Sitges. Historically cultivated along the coast of Sitges for sweet wines, here it is vinified into a natural sparkling style. The winemaking process begins with direct pressing, limiting extraction to 60%. The must undergoes cold settling for 48 hours before spontaneous fermentation commences. Crucially, the wine is bottled prior to the completion of fermentation, employing the méthode ancestrale (Pét-Nat). This technique traps the carbon dioxide generated naturally within the bottle, resulting in a sparkling wine that requires no secondary fermentation or disgorgement.

The vinification method and grape variety suggest a fresh, effervescent profile typical of ancestral method wines made from aromatic varieties like Malvasía. The use of direct pressing and limited extraction points to a wine with minimal intervention and a focus on primary fruit expression.

The overall character of L’Enclòs de Peralba Pét-Nat 2025 is defined by its rarity, stemming from a tiny plot and an old variety repurposed for modern sparkling production. It represents a traditional approach to winemaking in the Penedès region, highlighting the potential of Malvasía beyond its historical use for dessert wines.

Learn more about L'Enclòs de Peralba

L'Enclòs de Peralba is the project of cousins Leo and Roc Gramona, of the Penedès sparkling-wine family. They joined the family winery on one condition: that they could make their own wines. They started in 2017; the 2017 and 2018 vintages were made at Gramona and later ones in their own cellar.

Enclòs is Catalan for clos, and Peralba refers to the white rocks of the area's higher ground. The idea is to go back to how the land was planted before phylloxera, with local varieties (Xarel·lo, white and red Garnacha, Malvasia de Sitges) and single-plot wines of about two thousand bottles each. Part of every plot goes into the base wine, Vi Fi de Masia.

Leo Gramona believes Malvasia de Sitges, once grown on the Sitges coast for sweet wines and nearly lost, will be "the Riesling of the region".

The Pét-Nat is Malvasia de Sitges from a single 0.72-hectare plot at 266 metres, on clay. Direct pressing at 60% extraction, cold settling and a spontaneous fermentation that finishes in the bottle, with no disgorging.
