Can Grau Vell 'Alcor'

"I have always dreamt of making wine for our restaurants in symmetry with what we understand to be gastronomy."

Jordi Castellví i Agut, Owner & Winemaker, Can Grau Vell
Can Grau Vell is a rarity — an urban vineyard in an industrial suburb of Barcelona, an unlikely spot for a world-class winery. When Jordí first saw the property, it was planted with olive trees and wheat. A friend in the business told him it was folly to buy the land, but a smitten Jordí followed his heart. The results justify his intuition.

His signature Alcor, a deft blend of Syrah, Garnatxa, Cabernet Sauvignon, Marselan and Monastrell, is intense and sophisticated, full of the can-do spirit of Barcelona. Jordí makes only 10,000 bottles annually, much of it earmarked for the restaurant he owns in Barcelona, the Cafè de l’Acadèmia, which has been recognized as one of the top spots for lunch in Spain. You can only taste his food by traveling to Barcelona but luckily, his wine comes to us.

The star Alcor in the Great Bear star system has been used for centuries in astronavigation for ships. It's name comes from Arabic, meaning 'faint one'.
