The winery
Only around 50 of this finca's 455 hectares in the Garraf Massif are planted with vines. The rest is forest, scrub and rock. Jordi Esteve carries on what Carlos Esteva started in the 1970s.

Carlos Esteva began turning the estate into a winery in the 1970s and tried out many grape varieties along the way. After his death in 2023, Jordi Esteve, a long-time companion, took over the management. He keeps the same line: organic farming, hand picking, spontaneous fermentation and every plot vinified on its own.
