To make our wines, we have vineyards of different ages (mostly young) located about 500 meters above sea level in Vilalba dels Arcs. We played with a few varieties: Macabeo, white Grenache, Carignan, red Garnacha and a little Muscat of Alexandria.

The work we do in the field is based, as far as the plant is concerned, on pruning (both winter and green), aeration of the vine to minimize fungal infections and collection and selection (in the field) of the grape. The removal of the soil is achieved, depending on the phenological moment and the weather, by plowing, excavating... with the tractor.
At the treatment level, copper and sulphur are applied, if necessary. In cases of extreme drought, water is applied to the vines through irrigation, in some plots.

The harvest usually takes place from the last week of August until the end of September. The winery in which we have made wine is always below the house, it is a small winery but in which we manage ourselves very well and in which any production process is always very enjoyable. Finally, it is our home, where we grew up. Right now, we also have other infrastructure near the town where we have the vineyards that allows us to process large quantities of grapes (for us) as quickly as possible. During work in the winery, we try to accompany the product while letting it be.

We play with tanks made of different materials (mostly amphoras, barrels and stainless steel) and reflect to find the wine that we are finally going to bottle, always trying to remember the vineyard from which it comes. Personally, it is beautiful to taste the wine and recognize the fruit you have been harvesting.

All processes are done more or less manually and as a family. We all have the “blame” and the “merit” for any consequences. I think I am not wrong in saying that we always enjoy what we are doing, that we almost always undertake things laughing and that we are a great team that complements each other very well. Sometimes we also fight, but that's okay because anger never lasts forever, because it's very tiring.

I wouldn't know how else to describe our work, I can only invite you to see it, drink it and enjoy it to know it better.
