The epicenter of our activity is Pla del Penedès.
in the middle of a depression and very close to the pre-coastal range. The vineyards are delimited to the north and south by two streams which provide the humidity required for optimum growth of the vine. Here we have 25 hectares of vines with well drained productive soil is and a moderate average temperature. Very good, stable soils and the privileged location allow us to enhance the quality of each grape variety planted.
In this place we have planted the old Xarel·lo vineyard of Les Julies. Vineyard at 66 years old. It has been worked and very well cared for, and it is glass-driven. Our Blanc de Mayte wine comes from this vineyard, the first wine and our guide to excellence. Very close by we find the hundred-year-old Macabeo vineyard, the Viña Gran, planted just after the outbreak of phylloxera.
We don´t really have an exact record, but our grandfather, Juan Fortuny Fàbregas, used to tell us that, as a child, he used to play in the vineyard. Now he would be 112 years old. This old vine gives us an exceptional grape, which is complex and fruity with a very special nose and great potential. We get our single-variety Macabeo from this vineyard and part of the Macabeo used for making cavas. We also have the future of pink cava.
A plot of Pinot Noir, fresh, aromatic, with a good tannic contribution, and within two or three years, we hope it will have achieved the quality we demand for a good rosé cava.
