Albet i Noya’s story kicks off in the early 1900s, when the Albet family took over farming duties at Can Vendrell, a historic estate in the heart of Penedès. Things really took a turn in the late 1970s, when a Danish company came calling for someone in Spain to experiment with organic grapes. No one else raised their hand, so Josep Maria Albet i Noya stepped up. That move made them one of the first organic wineries in Spain - no small feat at the time! Today, the winery is still in family hands, with Josep Maria and his brother Toni steering the ship, and longtime winemaker Margarita Torres running the cellar. She’s been with them for over 25 years and works closely with Josep Maria’s son, Martí, who’s now part of the next generation keeping things fresh. The team focuses on native Catalan grapes like Xarel·lo and Macabeu but also experiments with lesser-known varieties and even recovered some nearly extinct ones. They’re proudly organic, deeply rooted in Penedès, and always leaning a little toward the edge of innovation.
We're excited to have Adriá Albet in the house, nephew of Josep Maria an cousin of Josep's son, Martí. As a 5th generation family member of this historic property, get ready for all the juicy insider stories, as well as some quite serious sparkling and still wines - 4 of them for just $10
