The Cellar

bien2

We should take a look at the XV Century, when the Jeronim Monks that stayed at that time in Torre del Veguer, started to plant vines. The time went through and our wines were awarded with the Gold Medal in the World Expo in Barcelona at 1888.

Respecting the ancient structure and the reformation made in the XIX Century, since 1995 new and modern installations have been updated with the aim of obtaining the higher quality.

There are some criteria that are necessary to produce Torre del Veguer´s wines:

To take care and constantly control of the vineyards development.
To pick by hand in 30kg plastic cases.
To select the grape in a sorting table before the de-stemmer.
To choose the appropriate yeasts.
To ferment under a controlled temperature.
To separate the different must qualities depending on the number of presses.
To use oak barrels from the best barriers from France and Spain.

In the new project that started in 1995, we decided to work with autoctonal varieties such as Penedès Xarel.lo, Mediterranean´s Muscat of Frontignan, and foreigners like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petite Syrah. We also planted a vineyard of Pinot Noir and Muller Thurgau at a high of 1200 meters, in the east part of the Pyrenees, which is growing very positively, although the difficulty to adapt to such height.
