Can Bas produces still wines, under DO Penedès, using grapes from its 60.5ha of organic vineyards, planted with both international and local varieties. With origins that date back centuries, it has been part of Pere Ventura Family Wine Estates, of Cava fame, since 2011. La Romana is a blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Xarel·lo, fermented separately – 90% overall in 500-litre French oak barrels, with the remaining must fermented and aged in clay vessels. The Xarel·lo hails from a plot scattered with Roman artefacts, which gives the wine its name. Luis Gamiz: Great concentration of aromas. Complex, with toast and well-integrated oak. A great glass of wine. Andrew Johnson: Smoky reduction on the nose. Lovely rich Chardonnay typicity across the mid-palate. Lemon rind and lemon curd on the finish. Pierre Mansour: Creamy aromas. Serious, flashy, round, intense and broad. A brilliant example of barrel-aged white. Great structure, and a nice Catalan twist to include Xarel·lo.
