These wines have amazing depth, concentration and complexity, qualities that contribute to its distinctive personality and give them a remarkable capacity for ageing.

The vines are organically farmed and duly certified by the authority CCPAE, the Catalan Council of Organic Production, the public watchdog responsible to the Ministry of Agriculture of the Catalan Government.
