Planting the Future at Can Gelat

IMG 3672

In the video below, we’re planting new Syrah vines in our beautiful Syrah parcel, specifically the ENTAV 100 clone grafted on Ruggeri 140 rootstock.

🍇 Why This Choice?

✅ ENTAV 100 Syrah Clone (from the Côtes-du-Rhône):

  • High fertility with juicy berries
  • Great acidity and balanced sugar levels
  • Fine tannins—perfect for crafting elegant wines

✅ Ruggeri 140 Rootstock (for our limestone-rich soils):

  • Deep-growing root system
  • Digs deep to access underground water reserves—crucial in dry climates
  • Reduces root competition with older vines by growing downward instead of sideways

Every little vine we plant today is a promise for the future—ensuring that Can Gelat continues producing exceptional wines while caring for our land. 🌿✨
