Cavas Vilarnau

Vilarnau

The team at Vilarnau are passionate about environmental protection and consider nurturing the land from which they make their living part of their DNA.  One of the first wineries to be awarded the Wineries for Climate Protection certification, Vilarnau is on a constant quest to reduce its carbon footprint. Energy comes from their biomass boiler, vineyards are irrigated from the rainwater filled lake that surrounds the winery, and suppliers are carefully chosen who fit with their sustainable ethics. Specializing in artisanal production, the much-acclaimed wines they make are now 100% organic.  

Close to Spain’s most avant-garde city of Barcelona, the state-of-the-art winery sits amongst vineyards teeming with wildlife. Lying at 250 metres above sea level and shielded by the Montserrat Mountains to the north and the Littoral range to the south, the estate enjoys a Mediterranean climate, and is planted with both international and native varieties. They were the first in the area to plant Pinot Noir but are equally dedicated to preserving lesser known local grapes such as Trepat and Subirat Parent.
