With a hundred years of existence under its belt, Alella Vincola began in 1906 as an agrarian union cooperative. That same year, architect Jeroni Martorell, a disciple of Antoni Gaud, built the Modernista-style cellar. The 1920’s and 1930’s saw the rise of Marfil, the flagship brand of the cooperative, a cava savoured by King Alfonso XIII.
In 1998, the old union became the company Alella Vincola Can Jonc, S.L., which undertook the modernisation of all the processes under the leadership of the Garca Muntan family. Marfil and Ivori, are obtained from the 150 hectares controlled by Alella Vincola, both from vineyards owned by individual wine producers, old members of the cooperative, as well as vineyards acquired by the family.

Tasting Notes:
Produced from extra ripe Garnacha, aged in solera cask dates back to 2003. Mulberry and clove-scented nose. Well-balanced sweet palate with very good acidity. Sweet cherry and marmalade flavours. Long finish.

The Wine Advocate:
The 2003 Marfil Violeta Solera is a pure Garnacha made in the same way as the Molt Dolc Solera. It has a mulberry and clove-scented nose like a mild-mannered Banyuls, but is less volatile and more composed. The palate is very well-balanced with very good acidity that counterpoises the sweet cherry and marmalade flavours extremely well. This is another beautifully crafted, very feminine sweet wine from Allela Vinicola.

This sweet nectar is perfect for desserts like chocolate fondant, fudge cakes, brownie, mixed berries or raspberry tart or pie with vanilla ice cream.
