Their Way

The Carreras, Esteve, Masana and Parera families had centuries of experience, with a deep-rooted agricultural tradition and the tradition of making wine in their farmhouses. Thus, in 1980 they started a joint project to produce wines and cavas that represent the identity of our terroirs

Can Llopart de les Alzines, an estate dating back to 1499 and surrounded by vineyards, was the place chosen to build their winery.

The soul of their project is their winery

The soul of his project were - and always will be - those four friends and neighbors who ended up becoming partners. Gil Masana, Josep Carreras, Pere Parera and Josep Esteve, who starting from the vocation, knowledge and love for the land knew how to lead it until now.

They are the ones who will always be the soul of the project

Biodinamic: Pioneers and Convinced

Throughout its history, each generation has contributed its grain of sand, its advances, but also the wisdom of knowing how to see and reflect. The experience that brings them this direct contact with the land led them, in 2000 to direct their agriculture towards organic farming. Shortly afterwards, with the desire to continue improving at all levels, they decided to go a step further and apply biodynamic agriculture. Although at that time it was a type of agriculture quite unknown in our country, the results spoke for themselves and they decided to bet on it. And they will continue to bet on it.

Vins El Cep was born and has grown in this landscape of vineyards and forests that impregnate character. They love our land and therefore care for it, listen to it and try to understand it in order to act, because they know that everything starts here, in the soil, in the vines, in the plants and animals that coexist in the same ecosystem, understand each other and establish a natural balance. Observation, effort and conviction have led them, from 2003 to the present, to continue working in this direction, striving to achieve the perfect balance between respect for nature and high quality in the winery. Their Claror cava, the first biodynamic cava in the world, is an example of their work

It is well known that the path of wine begins in the vineyard. The personality, the feeling, the expression of their wines only make sense if the vineyard is more alive every day. The vineyards are its heritage, the roots its landscape.

Terruños y parajes

Thousands of years ago these lands were part of the seabed and in fact more than 500 years ago there were already vines. Its vineyards are largely old vines located in Costers de l'Anoia and located between the municipalities of Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Gelida and Sant Llorenç. Vineyards of marked character, a quality that is needed to obtain their terroir wines

The grapes are grown among gently rolling hillsides, crossed by deep streams and a typically Mediterranean climate: moderately hot and dry summers, mild winters and irregular rainfall. In addition to the native varieties, which occupy a large part of their vineyards, such as Macabeo, Xarel-lo, Parellada and Tempranillo, there are others such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot or Syrah that allow them to find the balance in the coupages

The roots, moderately deep, engage in a loamy-clay-loam soil, well structured, porous and active at the level of fauna. Thanks to the agriculture applied, organic and biodynamic, ants, worms and all kinds of organisms live and develop, providing the necessary natural balance

Experience and Passion

Two generations combine experience and tradition with passion and new bets. Strict control, technology and the right blending are the key to the success of their wines and cavas

Vinification The location of the winery, next to its vineyards, ensures that the grapes arrive in the best conditions. These grapes are pressed with a gentle pressure to extract the most noble fraction of the must, maximum 50%, this guarantees the maximum quality of their wines. In small tanks, and a strict control during fermentation, we vinify separately each variety according to the vineyard where it comes from to customize each of the wines that you will obtain.

Wine production is based on the grape variety

Raising Inside the cellars, protected from light, with constant humidity and low temperatures, your bottles rest. Only with these optimal conditions and long aging is it possible, year after year, to transform the grapes into an exceptional cava. Long aging provides the complexity of the bouquet, finesse and carbonic integration of its reserve and gran reserva cavas

Tirage During the first months of the year, when temperatures are lower, they bottle their wines and cavas. Under these conditions, a slow fermentation takes place in the bottle to obtain the best aromas and fine bubbles that will combine to start the long aging process. The selected yeasts will give complexity and character to their cavas
