Recaredo

We’re a family of winegrowers specialized in Millésime Brut Nature Sparkling Wines (zero dosage). We’re committed to capturing our Mediterranean landscapes in a bottle. That’s what drives us to cultivate only our own vineyards planted with indigenous varieties. We practise dry farming and apply the principles of biodynamic agriculture –a step beyond organic. Like sentinels waiting patiently in silence, Recaredo’s bottles remain in the darkness of our cellars for at least 30 months until they achieve a truly unique character. In the case of Recaredo’s most exclusive family wine cellars, some of our Sparkling Wines are aged for nearly 20 years, preserving a wealth of elegant and complex nuances. ROBERT PARKER- THE WINE ADVOCATE: “I’m not sure if there is any other sparkling wine producer in the world who works with such strict standards (...) There is a sense of energy and harmony in their wines that is impressive; they are all highly recommended.”

We chose the private visit and our amazing guide was Lluba. We are fairly experienced wine lovers who have done wine tours worldwide. Having said that the private tour is an amazing experience for people new to the cava experience, or biodynamic farming, as well as experienced oenophiles. Lluba was both a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide and her tour was excellent. We elected to have the tour in English. We were able to sample several reserve cavas, and the 2008 reserve was disgorged for us by one of the current owner / vintners, Josep Mata. We were also able to sample both still wines and reserve cavas with dried sausage and breads. Very enjoyable and enlightening experience overall. Pricey for a cava tasting but well worth it.

Pares Balta

Parés Baltà is a family owned traditional winery that goes back to 1790. We are winemakers with a long tradition but with new and fresh ideas. The company is guided into a new era of high quality wine production under the management of Joan and Josep Cusiné and the inconditional help of their father Joan Cusiné Cusiné. We produce high quality wines and cavas with grapes from our 5 estates, situated around the winery and in the mountains of Penedès. The altitude varies from 170 to 750m and offers a diverse mixture of soils and microclimates. That gives a special personality to our wines by bringing the essence of the Mediterranean ecosystem to our grapes. At Parés Baltà, the winemaking is in the hands of Mª Elena Jiménez and Marta Casas, oenologists and wives of Joan and Josep. Two skilled young women whose efforts are reflected in the quality of the wines, showing fine character and concentration yet with elegance and balance.

There is so much to see in Barcelona - This shared, it is well worth taking an afternoon and getting out of the city for a wine and cava tasting with tapas at Pere Ventura! We met with Beth - the winemaker, and Rosa - for the Cava tasting and tour. An unbelievable afternoon touring the vineyards and the cellars! - a 45-minute drive outside of the city.

Quin luxe poder gaudir de les vinyes i el celler de Devinssi! En un lloc tan conegut com El Priorat i amb tants proveïdors bastant grans, Devinssi crea una ànima íntima i autèntica, de tu-a-tu amb el vi, cosa que s’agraiex molt. El Jordi va ser ell qui ens va acompanyar a l’experiència, un tio apassionat amb molta energia qui sap molt de la zona — i domina molts idiomes també! What a treat to enjoy the Devinssi vineyards and wine cellar! In a place as well-known as the Priorat region with so many large suppliers, Devinssi provides intimate and authentic vibes, a one-on-one feeling between you and the wine, and it's much appreciated. Jordi accompanied us on our visit, a passionate guy with lots of energy, who knows a ton about the area — and lots of languages too!
