Sitges, Penedès, Catalonia. Vineyards in autumn.

These vineyards grow a special grape variety used to make malvasia, an aromatic sweet white wine typical from the city of Sitges.

According to legend, a Sitgetan man called Jofre brought the first vines of this variety from the Adriatic coast in the Middle Ages. He participated in the defence of Sicily under the orders of Roger de Llúria (c.1245-1305), and it was there where he first discovered how this drink was made by the friars in a Greek city-monastery called Malvasia, thought to be modern-day Monemvasia.

After centuries of cultivation in Sitges, nowadays malvasia is considered Sitges's most genuine product. It can only be purchased bottled in the town's wine cellars. The most renowned one is Sant Joan Baptista Hospital's cellar, which you can see in the photo.

I tried ice wine for the first time today and it was. So so good. They leave the grapes frozen on the vine for at least 3 days and then crush them and all the sugars are condensed...it tastes like brown sugar and candied pears oh my god....but one grape makes only a single drop so it's rly expensive 😭

Girls’ night in! Ever had a sweet wine from Orvieto from the Sassicaia family? Yeah, no. Well, they’re out there. They just rarely make it here to the US, which is a shame. Yellow flowers, fresh and dried apricot, honeysuckle, honey, cooked apples, preserved lemon, and cooked pear on the nose. Lovely acidity and balance on the palate with apricot, pear, superripe asian pear, honey, and chestnut. Cheers!
