List of products by brand Collbaix
Wines with geological character, the essence of Pla de Bages, and dry-farmed organic viticulture at the foot of Manresa's iconic hill.
Born from a profound reverence for the environment and the farming heritage of Manresa, Celler Collbaix crafts wines with a strong geological and climatic identity under the DO Pla de Bages seal. Their vineyards, managed under strict organic and dry-farming principles, sink their roots into clay-loam soils layered with limestone, sheltered by the unique silhouette of the Collbaix hill. The winery stands out for its unwavering commitment to indigenous grape varieties, particularly Picapoll, masterfully blending the traditional heritage of ancient vineyard stone huts with modern, precise winemaking. The result is honest, concentrated wines with a clean profile that mirrors the true essence of Bages: sharp winters, warm summers, and that balsamic, mineral touch so distinctive of its forested landscape.
The Soul of Bages Varieties
Celler Collbaix pampers every plot so that the grapes express the optimal concentration and freshness yielded by low-production dry farming.
- The Indigenous Standard: The Picapoll grape (both white and red) is the undisputed queen of the estate. It brings a vibrant acidity, citrus notes, and a signature glyceric texture that defines the profile of their age-worthy white wines.
- Structure and Fruit: For their estate red wines, the winery masterfully works with varieties such as Garnacha Tinta, Mandó, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, striking a perfect balance between mature tannins, undergrowth notes, and ripe red fruit.
The Celler Collbaix Style:
The wines of Celler Collbaix present themselves with exceptional luminosity and chromatic vividness in the glass. On the nose, they unfold a subtle and elegant complexity—an aromatic palette where ripe white fruit and crisp citrus naturally blend with pineapple notes, hints of fennel, thyme, and a highly refreshing calcareous mineral backdrop. Upon tasting, the entry is enveloping, savory, and boasts a silky texture that coats the palate. A flawless fruit acidity stands out, bringing tension, balance, and a constant balsamic sensation. The mouthfeel is long and persistent, concluding with a clean, mineral, and slightly bitter finish reminiscent of green almonds, inviting you to keep enjoying its Mediterranean freshness.
Groundbreaking Pairings
The savory freshness and structure of these terroir wines unlock bold and surprising culinary combinations:
- With White & Single-Plot Picapoll Wines: We suggest a pairing of contrasts alongside a bluefin tuna tataki with a black sesame crust, served with a ginger and green apple reduction. The vertical acidity and volume of Picapoll pierce through the richness of the tuna, while the citrus and fennel notes enhance the freshness of the ginger.
- With Estate Reds (Singular Negre Style): Enjoy its character next to a roasted duck magret with a fresh fig, rosemary, and dark bitter chocolate sauce. The mature tannins and undergrowth notes of the wine integrate flawlessly with the meat, while its crisp acidity beautifully balances the fruity sweetness of the figs.
