Production:

The harvest is done manually. The grapes are refrigerated in the winery for 24 hours at a controlled temperature of 10 ºC. The final control of the grapes follows, passing through the selection table and destemming. The grapes are left to macerate for two hours before being pressed. After gentle pressing with low yield, most of the must is transferred to stainless steel tanks and a small amount to French oak barrels (10%) and amphora (5%), where it ferments at a controlled temperature of 15 ºC. It then undergoes a six-month aging process. The different musts are blended and bottled.

At Can Bas, the wines they produce are honest and genuine. They are the true witnesses of what has happened in their house over four seasons.

At Can Bas, they are not interested in repeating a wine year after year, nor in intervening to achieve an exact copy. Each bottle that comes out of their winery reflects the typicality of the estate as well as the climatic and environmental conditions of the harvest in the Penedés region.

At Can Bas, they work every day to obtain wines that, above all, are an expression of the grapes grown in their vineyards and of the spirit infused by the owners.

At Can Bas, they believe that viticulture and winemaking are not exact sciences. They are rather practices sustained by intuition, experience, sacrifice, perseverance, stubbornness, good judgment, and the curiosity to innovate. All driven by the work that the hands of their workers dedicate to both the vineyard and the winery.

At Can Bas, they put all their effort into adapting the vineyard work schedule to the needs of each plot, each variety, or each individual vine, following a scrupulous code of good practices. And when it comes to winemaking, they are even more meticulous. Therefore, the result is exceptional wines.

Can Bas is a place where the vineyard has been cultivated for over two thousand years; a place inhabited since ancient times; a manor house built on an old farmhouse; an agricultural production unit dedicated continuously to viticulture.

Can Bas is a winery that currently only produces wines from the vineyards on its estate.
