Special places of unique beauty. Gorgeous, well-designed objects that strike the eye. Lands and seas that offer us their good, honest produce. There are those who know how to find these places, appreciate these objects, and enjoy this bounty of the land and sea. Selectus Wines is aimed at these people and the establishments they frequent. Uniqueness, beauty, distinction, finesse and well-being can also be expressed through wine and the vineyards they hail from. We seek out, select and describe these wines for the enjoyment of these discerning consumers. Lugares con belleza singular, que son especiales. Objetos que destacan por su capacidad de atracción y por su diseño, que son llamativos. Tierras y campos, mares y océanos que ofrecen sus más sinceros y honestos productos. Personas que saben encontrar esos lugares, que saben llevar esos objetos, que saben apreciar esas vituallas. Para todos ellos y para los lugares en los que se sienten cómodos, se escribe Selectuswines. La singularidad, la belleza, la distinción, la finura, el bienestar pueden, también, expresarse a través de los vinos y sus parajes. Los descubrimos, los seleccionamos, los bebemos y los describimos para que la gente con sensibilidad los pueda disfrutar.

RETURN TO THE ORIGINS ...

Ried Loibenberg SMARAGD 2012

DEEP ROOTS IN THE PENEDÉS • Considered pioneers in the production of high-quality sparkling wines, there have already been 25 generations of Lloparts which have devoted themselves to wine growing. The winery’s motto of “Ex Vite Vita” (life comes from the vine) encapsulates their philosophy.

You will find us in… / Nos encontrarán en…

BORDERLINE WINES • Whites produced as reds, rosés as pale as whites, reds as light as rosés, Finos without fortification. Every day more and more wines are occupying ambiguous middle ground halfway between one typology and another.

THE RECOVERY OF A GRAPE • Recently, it seems like it’s become “fashionable” to recover grape varieties that had been given up as extinct and which, obviously, hadn’t been used for winemaking for decades. Several wineries have decided to pursue these research and recovery projects, but we are going to focus on one of the pioneers in this “return to the origins”, the Torres family.
