PRODUCER PROFILE

Carles Mora Ferrer’s family made wine in Piera up until the 60s, when small scale winemaking  became unprofitable, and sadly the vineyard was abandoned. Decades later, a young Carles planted  just a few rows of Cabernet Sauvignon vines on the family plot, with a view to make an amphora  aged wine from a chemical-free vineyard, with zero additives. In the years following this, Carles and  Montse planted Chardonnay as well as the indigenous Catalan varietals Macabeo and Xarel-lo.
