We are a family with a long winemaking tradition, located in the heart of Pened\u00e8s, who have dedicated ourselves mainly to viticulture since time immemorial. <\/p>\n<p>Mas Comtal has belonged to the family since 1355, and since then, we have gone through different stages shaped by the times. However, it was with the 1993 harvest, driven by the desire to see our effort and well-done work as winegrowers dignified, that we put the old winery back into operation, producing high-quality, organic wines with their own style. With our wines, we want to bring light and joy to the lives of people like you. With your support, we can contribute to maintaining the rural economy of our country and to valuing our landscape, cultural, historical, and gastronomic heritage.   <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_5,3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;off|tablet&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.mascomtal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pagesia-forma-de-viure-mas-comtal.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;peasantry-way-of-life-mas-comtal&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_5,3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; positioning=&#8221;absolute&#8221; position_origin_a=&#8221;center_center&#8221; z_index=&#8221;10&#8243; position_origin_a_tablet=&#8221;center_center&#8221; position_origin_a_phone=&#8221;center_center&#8221; position_origin_a_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; position_origin_f_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; position_origin_f_phone=&#8221;&#8221; position_origin_f_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; position_origin_r_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; position_origin_r_phone=&#8221;&#8221; position_origin_r_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; positioning_tablet=&#8221;relative&#8221; positioning_phone=&#8221;relative&#8221; positioning_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_cta _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;7af02c52-6cfb-4cc2-a8f4-8654b976e0d9&#8243; width=&#8221;80%&#8221; custom_css_free_form=&#8221;.et_pb_promo_description {||  padding-bottom: 0;||}&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>HISTORY AND ORIGINS<\/p>\n<h2>The <strong>peasantry<\/strong>, one<br \/>way of living<\/h2>\n<p>Our connection to the land is unquestionable.

Therefore, since 2001, we have had CCPAE certification for both the vineyard and the wine production process.   <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; positioning=&#8221;absolute&#8221; position_origin_a=&#8221;bottom_center&#8221; position_origin_a_tablet=&#8221;bottom_center&#8221; position_origin_a_phone=&#8221;bottom_center&#8221; position_origin_a_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; position_origin_f_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; position_origin_f_phone=&#8221;&#8221; position_origin_f_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; position_origin_r_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; position_origin_r_phone=&#8221;&#8221; position_origin_r_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; positioning_tablet=&#8221;relative&#8221; positioning_phone=&#8221;relative&#8221; positioning_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.mascomtal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Albert-Mila-Mallofre-Mas-Comtal-vinedo-1.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Albert-Mila-Mallofre-Mas-Comtal-vinedo-1&#8243; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; module_alignment_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; module_alignment_phone=&#8221;&#8221; module_alignment_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.mascomtal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Albert-Mila-Mallofre-Mas-Comtal-vinedo.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Albert-Mila-Mallofre-Mas-Comtal-vinedo&#8221; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#46423E&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;900px&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_cta _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;7af02c52-6cfb-4cc2-a8f4-8654b976e0d9&#8243; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>The cellar of<br \/><strong>Mas Comtal<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_cta][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>In the winery, the magic of grape-to-wine transformation takes place. We all know it&#8217;s like cooking: the key to success lies in the quality of the ingredients and their interpretation. Variety by variety, vineyard by vineyard, we work individually, thinking about the future wine, which, like the best chef, we will &#8220;cook&#8221; in the same &#8220;kitchen&#8221; to serve, delight, satisfy, and surprise the most demanding gourmets.<br \/>We love to innovate, improve, try, and experiment. One of the most exciting aspects of the wine world is the entire process of creation and evolution of any wine born in our winery. Because no two wines are alike. A wine is like a child; it&#8217;s gratifying to see it born, grow, and mature. And it&#8217;s especially comforting when you can share it, creating great moments that no one can take away from you.       <\/p>\n<p>Experimentation and research go hand-in-hand with environmental awareness and the authenticity of our wines. We work every day to make the entire process of creation, packaging, and transport more sustainable. Reducing plastic and our carbon footprint throughout the process are significant challenges. We are learning to implement the exclusive use of indigenous yeasts and to notably reduce the use of sulfites as a food preservative, all to offer you more genuine wines that express the singularity of our landscape.   <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/www.mascomtal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/mas-comtal-celler.jpg&#8221; height=&#8221;60vh&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_cta _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;7af02c52-6cfb-4cc2-a8f4-8654b976e0d9&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>This is ours<br \/>\n<strong>human team<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The work at Mas Comtal is complex.
