The Serè is the northwesterly wind that often blows during winter in Vallbona de les Monges and throughout the surrounding inland region. Like the wind, Blanc de Serè is a fresh, dry wine. It was with this wine that, in 1989, we at L’Olivera decided to move from growing grapes to making wine, embarking on a new adventure that would complete the production cycle and capture in each bottle the full expression of the Vall del Corb landscape and all the excitement of starting a new project.

Youthfulness and complexity go hand in hand in a wine that we want to be fresh and lively, yet full of nuances and character. A wine that embodies our initial intuitions, which inspired us to demonstrate that the landscapes we cultivate and inhabit held the potential to produce great wines.
With Blanc de Serè, we celebrate traditional grape varieties such as Macabeu, Parellada and Garnatxa Blanca, vinified in stainless steel tanks with the aim of achieving their fullest expression. In this region, these varieties reflect the inland Mediterranean landscape, where altitude and the influence of the sea breeze allow the grapes to ripen slowly, resulting in a particularly interesting balance between alcohol content and acidity.

Landscape

ORIGIN: Vineyards located in different municipalities within the Valls del Riu Corb subregion of the DO Costers del Segre. A landscape of plots characterised by dry-stone walls that define the vineyards and help preserve soil fertility and efficient water use.

SOILS: Clay-limestone soils with varying levels of stoniness and depth.

CLIMATE: The climate is continental Mediterranean, with cold, dry winters and hot summers, moderated by the sea breeze (known locally as the marinada), which arrives in the afternoons and cools the nights, especially during the ripening period. Rainfall is scarce and mainly concentrated in autumn and spring (350–450 mm annually).

Varieties

Macabeu (70%), Parellada (15%), Xarel·lo (10%) and Garnatxa Blanca (5%)

Viticulture

Organic farming. Hand harvesting in 10–12 kg crates.

Winemaking

Fermentation at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks, with periodic stirring of the lees. The blend is the result of an ongoing exploration of the young wine we have been producing for the past 30 years. Bottled progressively in small batches according to demand.

Production

2025 vintage: 39,850 bottles
