Vins El Cep was born from the union of four winegrowing families and four estates. Since 1980, they have been producers of unique, high-quality wines and cavas that express their terroirs. Located in els Costers de l’Anoia, at Can Llopart de les Alzines, they are pioneers in organic and biodynamic viticulture.

They strive to achieve the perfect balance between respect for nature and high quality in the winery. The vines are their heritage; the roots, their landscape.

Viticulture: This wine comes from the xarel·lo vineyard “Clot del Roure” on their Can Prats estate in San Llorenç, located in the privileged Espiells area, in the Anoia river basin. This 1.5-hectare vineyard is cultivated according to the principles of biodynamic agriculture. The vineyard was planted in 1943. Training system: traditional bush vines. Calcareous soil with a sandy texture. Southeast-facing. Cultivated following the certified biodynamic process.

2021 harvest Weather with little rainfall, but with good grape development during the final vegetative cycle, allowed for a harvest marked by very good quality. Grape ripening was excellent and made it possible to harvest fruit in optimal condition. A harvest defined by low rainfall and low yields. These grapes are harvested in the first week of September.

Tasting note: Golden yellow in color with orange highlights. On the nose, it offers aromas of ripe white fruit, with hints of white flowers accompanied by aniseed notes and vegetal nuances. On the palate it is warm, broad and balanced. Despite having the strength of an orange-style wine, it is very delicate.

Pairing: this is an ideal wine for typical Mediterranean cuisine, such as fish and seafood, steamed, grilled or baked. It also pairs with traditional fish stews (suquets, zarzuelas, calderetas, etc.).
At Made in Spain Gourmet we believe it is excellent with Mediterranean rice dishes such as those from Dehesa de la Albufera (seafood paellas, brothy rice dishes) and fresh pasta with sautéed vegetables or boletus sauces.

The Carreras, Esteve, Masana and Parera families had a century of experience, with deep-rooted agricultural traditions and a tradition of winemaking on their farmsteads. Thus, in 1980, they began a shared project to craft wines and cavas that represent the identity of their terroirs.
BIODYNAMICS: PIONEERS AND TRUE BELIEVERS

Throughout their history, each generation has contributed its grain of sand, its progress, but also the wisdom to observe and reflect. The experience gained from this direct contact with the land led them, in 2000, to guide their agriculture toward organic farming.

Shortly afterwards, driven by the desire to keep improving at every level, they decided to go one step further and apply biodynamic agriculture. Although at that time it was a fairly unknown type of farming in Spain, the results spoke for themselves and they decided to commit to it. And they will continue to do so.

Vins El Cep was born and has grown in this landscape of vineyards and forests that imbue character. They love their land and therefore care for it, listen to it and try to understand it in order to act, because they know that everything begins here, in the soil, in the vines, in the plants and animals that coexist in the same ecosystem, understand one another and establish a natural balance.

Observation, effort and conviction have led them, from 2003 to the present day, to continue working in this direction, striving to achieve the perfect balance between respect for nature and high quality in the winery. Their cava Claror, the world’s first biodynamic cava, is an example of their work.

It is well known that the journey of wine begins in the vineyard. The personality, emotion and expression of their wines only make sense if the vineyard becomes more alive every day. The vines are their heritage; the roots, their landscape.
TERROIRS AND SITES

Thousands of years ago, these lands formed part of the seabed, and in fact vines were already grown here more than 500 years ago.

Their vineyards are, for the most part, old vines located in Costers de l’Anoia and set between the municipalities of Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, Gelida and Sant Llorenç. These are vineyards with a marked character, the quality needed to obtain their terroir-driven wines.

The grapes grow among gently rolling slopes, crossed by deep ravines, in a typically Mediterranean climate: moderately hot, dry summers, mild winters and irregular rainfall. The native varieties, which occupy a large part of their vineyards—such as Macabeo, Xarel·lo, Parellada and Tempranillo—are joined by others such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Syrah, allowing them to find balance in their blends.

The moderately deep roots cling to loamy clay-silt soil, well structured, porous and biologically active. Thanks to the organic and biodynamic agriculture they practice, ants, worms and all kinds of organisms live and develop there, fostering the necessary natural balance.
COMMITMENT

They are a sustainable, responsible and efficient winery.

They work day after day to fulfill their commitment to the landscape. They work sustainably with renewable energy, respecting the environment as much as possible in the vineyard and in the winery.

They strive to improve water management, reduce waste and increase energy efficiency. They invest in photovoltaic energy.

They are what you see.
WINEMAKING

EXPERIENCE AND PASSION

Two generations combine experience and tradition with passion and new ideas. Strict control, technology and the right blend are the keys to the success of their wines and cavas.
VINIFICATION

The location of the winery, next to its vineyards, means the grapes arrive in the best possible condition. These grapes are pressed gently to extract the noblest fraction of the must, a maximum of 50%, ensuring the highest quality of their wines. In small tanks, and with strict control during fermentation, each variety is vinified separately according to the vineyard it comes from, in order to personalize each of the wines they produce.
AGING

Inside the cellars, protected from light, with constant humidity and low temperatures, their bottles rest. Only under these optimal conditions and with long aging is it possible, year after year, to transform grapes into exceptional cava. Long aging contributes the complexity of the bouquet, the finesse and the integration of the carbonation in their reserva 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 finest aromas and delicate bubbles that will combine to begin the long aging process. The selected yeasts will give their cavas complexity and character.

Vins El Cep

Can Llopart de les Alzines is an estate dating back to 1499, surrounded by the vineyards from which our grapes come and the place chosen to build the Vins El Cep winery. The Carreras, Esteve, Masana and Parera families had already established ties in the past, beyond being neighbors and friends. All of them had centuries of experience in agriculture and in the tradition of making wine in their own homes. In 1980 they began a joint project to produce wines and cavas that would represent the identity of their terroirs. Today, these terroirs are cultivated according to the principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture, where the soil, plants, animals and people work together to improve and preserve the natural balance of the ecosystem. Back in the 1970s, a chapter closed in the world of wine: the winemaking process was modernized, the world of cava experienced tremendous growth, and the D.O. Penedès flourished powerfully. New times required new practices. New practices required new facilities. A new philosophy and a new generation had to face these new challenges. Gil Masana, Josep Carreras, Pere Parera and Josep Esteve belonged to families with deeply rooted agricultural traditions. They were neighbors, friends, and decided to become partners. In this new setting, they joined forces, land and knowledge to launch a risky yet exciting project—just as Catalan entrepreneurs have always done. In the 1980s, with clear ideas and the necessary energy, Vins El Cep was born. The souls of that project were, and will always be, those four friends who, driven by vocation, knowledge and love for the land, knew how to guide it to where it is today. They had the grapes, and over the years they learned to refine their work both in the vineyard and in the winery to obtain wines of great quality and expression. Vins El Cep was born and has grown in this landscape of vineyards and forests that imparts character. They love the land, and for that reason they care for it, listen to it and try to understand it in order to act, because they know that everything begins here: in the soil, in the vines, in the plants and animals that coexist within the same ecosystem, understand one another and establish a natural balance. Observation, effort and conviction have led them, from 2003 to the present day, to continue working in this direction, striving to achieve the perfect balance between respect for nature and high quality in the winery. Their cava Claror, the world’s first biodynamic cava, is an example of their work. It is well known that the path of wine begins in the vineyard. The personality, feeling and expression of their wines only make sense if the vineyard is becoming more alive every day. Today, Maite Esteve, from the Esteve family, manages the winery, and thanks to her international vision the brand is present in more than 50 countries. A woman passionate about wine, able to convey that passion to you—and at Made in Spain Gourmet, she won us over from the very first day. We love this winery deeply.
