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.
Mas Comtal is an estate of 40 hectares made up of a total of 27 vineyards, situated at an altitude of 350 meters above sea level. Each vineyard has a different soil that may be good or fairly poor quality chalky rock with little organic matter—good for deep roots yet low production.

White varieties are Xarel·lo and Chardonnay. Xarel·lo was introduced by the Greeks and the Chardonnay is a native of Burgundy. Reds are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, originally from Bordeaux. 1,5 has. of Black Muscat allows us to elaborate a Fizzy Rosé; a very funny and interesting wine. These are the varieties with which we have had most success; they allow us to produce very expressive wines that highlight their local environment.
When we talk about conservation, our objective is to try to get a quality raw material in order to produce the best possible wine. to produce a grape that is balanced and in the optimum condition to best express our terroir and our identity.

Our method of conservation excludes any kind of synthetic/chemical products that will risk damaging our wines or our surrounding. We base our work on organic agriculture and since 2001 we have been registered with Catalan Organic Farming Council which is authorized to maintain European legislation on organic production. For these reasons we can say, that our wines are created in the vineyards.
