In the town of Capçanes, in 1933 a few families decided to join together to create a common project that would help them preserve their way of life, viticulture.
Thanks to the brave spirit of its people, today we inherit beautiful century-old vineyards and a winery with more than 90 years of history.
Our winery adapted to the course of time, always open-minded, demonstrating that a well-organized people is capable of creating great wines in cooperation.
In the 90s, before having a local Denominación de Origen, the first Kosher wines in Spain were already produced, achieving outstanding international recognition.
The first single-varietal Grenache red wine from the Priorat region has been made in 1996, positioning the town of Capçanes on the world wine map.
Today we dare to say that we are a model of sustainability, which allows local people to live on their land in a dignified manner.
