The winery covers 100 hectares of vineyards, 30 hectares of which are cultivated biodynamically according to the criteria of the Demeter Association and 70 hectares organically. Since the grapes for all wines come from both biodynamic and organically cultivated vineyards, with a few exceptions, they may not be declared as such according to the current Demeter rules. Over the next few years, all vineyards will be converted to biodynamic viticulture.

The best vineyards have been selected for each variety. Macabeo by Can Simón, Xarel lo by Can Prats in Sant Llorenç d'Hortons, Parellada
from Can Castany and Chardonnay from Can Miquel de les Planes in Gelida, the privileged area of ​​Espiells.

The 2017 vintage was characterized by great drought and a 20% lower harvest volume with excellent grape quality with a very early harvest time.

The grape harvest was carried out manually and at the same time only the best grapes were selected and brought to the cellar in small transport boxes. The fermentation took place with the natural yeasts found on the grapes in small, temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The second fermentation was carried out in bottles like champagne and lasted 36 months.
