The 1970s saw the end of an era in the world of wine production: the production process was modernised, the cava sector experienced strong growth and the Penedès D.O. flourished. New times called for new practices. These new practices required new facilities. A new philosophy. And a new generation that must rise to the new challenges.
Gil Masana, Josep Carreras, Pere Parera and Josep Esteve are members of families with deep-rooted agricultural traditions. These neighbours and friends decided to become business partners. They therefore combined their forces, land and know-how in order to embark on a risky, yet exciting venture together.
In the 80s, with clear ideas about what they wanted to achieve and the necessary drive, they founded Vins El Cep. The backbone of this project was, and always will be, these four friends who combined their passion, knowledge, and love for their land, and who have made the business what it is today. They had the grapes and over time, they managed to refine both the vineyards and the winery, to obtain high quality, expressive wines.
Tasting Notes: Apple and pear aromas are clean as a whistle. This is varietal Xarello, a key grape in Cava production. It is citrusy and minerally in feel, with lemon, tangerine and stony flavors mixed with a touch of yeast. A tight, exact finish is juicy and stony.
