Miquel Canals Ollé was the founder of the wines or cavas which today bear the name of RAMON CANALS. From its very origins, the Canals Canals family has been linked to the cultivation of vineyards and the production of wine. The family house and our wine cellars in Castellví de Rosanes, a small village in the wine-growing region of the Penedès denomination of origin region, date back to our beginnings in 1903.
Behind the vineyard are the mighty Southern Alps. This mountain range forms the backbone of the South Island. This mountainous terrain helps protect our valley from fierce Oceanic winds. Over time it’s pushed down alluvial deposits – terraces of stony, free draining soils – which are well suited for grape growing. On a day-to-day basis these mountains feed our aquifers with exquisitely pure water.
During the ripening season (December – April), Marlborough experiences hot days, but at night the Ocean breeze cools the atmosphere dramatically. This extreme diurnal temperature change means our grapes produce intense flavours throughout the day, yet they are able to preserve and retain acidity from the cool conditions at night. It’s this expression – this sense of place – that you can find in the POUNAMU wines.
