The vines, vineyards and bodegas are a living testimony to a long and passionate love affair with wine. Areas where vines and woodland cohabit are few and far between, but El Bages, and in particular the land cultivated by our bodega, is one of those areas where vineyards are interspersed with... groves of trees, in a microclimate of contrasts that give the grapes their intensity and the wines their quality. The uneven soil and scarce rainfall result in magnificent red wines and singular white wines. We carefully select the best varieties of grape, lovingly tend to them over the years, and employ the very latest in viticulture methods. We combine native varieties, like the fruity Picapoll, with prestigious varieties suchas Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo, Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Franc for the reds, and Chardonnay, Sauvignon White and Macabeo for the whites.
Alcohol abuse can be dangerous.
