Our enviroment / surroundings

The Mas Comtal estate is located in the municipality of Avinyonet del Penedès, Alt Penedès; between the Massif of Ordal and the mountains of Mediona, Puigfred and Ancosa and the Garraf Park on the Mediterranean coast. The sea acts as a climatic regulator, and the beautiful mountain of Montserrat protects Penedès from the brunt of the cold winds that descend from the Pyrenees to the north. This combination of geographical elements generates the optimum environment for wine production.

Olive and almond trees grow around the edges of the vineyards and form part of an ever changing landscape. Most of the vineyards are small and the area is broken up by ravines, rivers and old cart routes, such as the Via Augusta that goes past our front door.

In the warm summer, crickets, butterflies and snakes form part of the nightlife and you often hear the murmur of owls and hawks.
