Vins El Cep is born from the union of four families of winemakers and four estates. Producers since 1980 of unique high-quality wines and cavas, the expression of their terroirs. Located in els Costers de l'Anoia, in 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.

Elaboration: The grapes for this Cava come from the Can Prats area, located in the hillsides of the Anoia river. From these 4 hectares of biodynamic agriculture, grapes are obtained that have an optimal degree of ripeness and acidity. Xarel·lo from Can Prats: Planting year: 1960. Macabeo and Parellada from Can Miquel de les Planes: Planting year: 1947 and 1969. Training system: old vines, gobelet. Moderately deep, carbonate soils, predominantly loamy textures, well-structured, porous, and with frequent fauna activity. These soils are very suitable for viticulture, allowing the full expression of the varietal character of the vines. South-west orientation. The bud break occurred 15 days later than usual. The season was very dry and particularly warm during the month of July, which advanced grape ripening. This resulted in a very healthy harvest with very balanced acidity. The harvest is manual. Quick and gravity-fed entry into the winery. Pressing at low pressure with a 50% extraction of free-run juice. Fermentation of each variety in small tanks at controlled temperature, native yeasts. With 12% of the base wine aged in barrel for 2 months. Aging for over 40 months.
Pairing: seafood, fish.
At Made in Spain Gourmet, we believe it is excellent with Mediterranean rice dishes like those from Dehesa de la Albufera (seafood paellas, soupy rice dishes) and fresh pasta with sautéed vegetables or porcini mushroom sauces.

Their Path
The Carreras, Esteve, Masana, and Parera families had a centuries-old experience, with a rooted agricultural tradition and a tradition of winemaking in their country houses. Thus, in 1980 they started a joint project to produce wines and cavas that represent the identity of their terroirs.
Can Llopart de les Alzines, a property dating back to 1499 and surrounded by vineyards, was chosen as the place to build their winery.
The soul of their project was - and will always be - those four friends and neighbors who ended up becoming partners. Gil Masana, Josep Carreras, Pere Parera, and Josep Esteve, who, starting from vocation, knowledge, and love for the land, knew how to lead it to this point.
