“In 1980, we embarked on a project to produce wines and Cavas that endeavour to represent the identity of our terroirs.

Nowadays, these lands are cultivated in line with the principles of organic and bio-dynamic winegrowing, in which land, plants, animals and man work together to improve and preserve the ecosystem’s natural balance.” Quote from Vins El Cep website.
