The Story

We love our land and everything it holds — our pets, our free-range chickens, our vegetable garden, and of course our grapes. Life here moves at its own pace, and that calm is woven into everything we make. Our winery, house, and grounds are always open to visitors; we believe the best way to understand a wine is to stand where it was grown. Come as you are. Stay as long as you like.

Philosophy

We make wines with minimal intervention. We harvest the grapes by hand, in small boxes, pampering the fruit. Fermentations flourish spontaneously with the native yeasts of the vineyard, unique and magical: they transform the juice into a different and authentic wine
We do it this way because what we like most is for the grapes to express themselves as they are, without constraints.

The Vineyard: Clos Costella

Clos Costela is a small, intentional wine project perched in the highest reaches of Penedès. From our estate in Les Llambardes, vineyards and forests interweave along the slopes of the Serra d'Ancosa — a landscape that shapes everything we do. We farm regeneratively, working with the rhythms of nature rather than against them, and intervene as little as possible in the cellar. The result is high-altitude wine of genuine place: honest, alive, and unhurried.
