2017 Durona Parellada 11.5% 3,000

Lying just 60 kilometers west of Barcelona, MontRub is at home in the wine region of Peneds. The bodega and vineyards of MontRub stand at over 2,000 feet above the sea, with different soils of clayey-calcareous, sandy-calcareous and slate, which gives the wine more complexity and character and minerality.

MontRub values indigenous grapes that can express the terroir and the culture most. They have committed to organic farming and obtained the Bio & Vegan certification.
