A Brief History Of Cérvoles
To be fully appreciated, some projects require a perspective that only comes with time. This is the case of Cérvoles Cellar, a venture first undertaken by Tomàs Cusiné 20 years ago in order to pay homage to an ancestral wine-making land, reclaiming a practice that, at that time, didn’t attract much interest in the world of wine: mountain viticulture.
Used to working with the vineyards on Urgell plains in the land of Castell del Remei, the property was acquired by his family in 1982, for Cusiné the vineyards at La Pobla de Cérvoles. It represented a true revelation and an unbeatable opportunity to rethink his work as a winemaker, taking on a far-reaching commitment to the land of Les Garrigues and its people.
This project also represented a return to the area’s roots although Cusiné did not turn his back on the technological advances). So it was that, in 1997, Cérvoles Celler was created, a winery designed to produce high quality single estate wines, which expresses clearly the territory where they are grown and with its sights firmly set on the ultimate goal: to be the first mountain viticultural project set up in Catalonia.

Denomination of Origin Costers del Segre, Les Garrigues
Powerful, volume and elegant. Barrel fermented and aged 12 months in New French oak.
Various orientations and altitudes gives this wine an optimal ripening on the grapes while maintaning relevant freshness. Cold skin macerations guarantee its fruity balance. Culitivated at an altitude between 700 and 800 metres, nestled at the foothills of the Serra de la Llena, the natural border within Priorat region and Serra del Montsant, ,this area typically has scarce rainfall and soft winds that guarantee healthy conditions on the vineyards. Soil structure predominantly has great water retention and is rich in gravels and a marly texture for quality viticulture. The elevation of the vineyards and the temperature contrast in Garrigues region positively impacts the grape skin thickness, encouraging the concentration of anthocyanins and tannins whilst enhancing acidity and freshness.
