The Codorniu cellars in San Sadurní de Noya are an important building of Catalan modernism that has been classified as a National Historic-Artistic Monument. They were built by the architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch between 1902 and 1915, with various subsequent interventions by Lluís Bonet i Garí (1930-1980). Tourist visits to these cellars, both by educational centres and the general public, have a long tradition.

A land, a family and a strong vocation write the history of Juvé and Camps, our history. Four generations rooted in the Penedès have left their mark, wisdom and a unique experience in each glass of our great wines and cavas. To get to the beginnings of this story we must travel back to 1796. More than 200 years ago, Joan Juvé Mir, an enterprising and forward-thinking winemaker, built the foundations of the company. Later, his son Antoni Juvé took over, successfully facing the terrible consequences of phylloxera. The first sparkling wine of the Juvé brand arrived in 1921. It was made in the underground facilities of the manor house of Sant Sadurní d’Anoia and, during that time, Joan Juvé, son of Antoni Juvé, and his wife Teresa Camps were in charge of the estate. In the next generation, Josep and Joan Juvé Camps, sons of Joan and Teresa, became involved in the management of the company and boosted the business by building a new winery in the area around Sant Sadurní d’Anoia. In 1960, they themselves commissioned the expansion of the winery and the underground cellars. They also incorporated technical advances such as temperature control and pneumatic presses. A year to remember at Juvé y Camps is 1972, the year of the creation of the first bottle of Gran Juvé Camps cava. It is an extraordinary gran reserva brut nature cava made with wine from the Espiells vineyard, only in special vintages. A few years later, in 1976, the Reserva de la Familia cava was launched. A gran reserva brut nature that was initially only intended for the exclusive consumption of the Juvé family. The small family business had become a thriving business and very soon, in 1982, the cavas began to be exported internationally to the United Kingdom, the USA, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Japan, Peru, etc. Growth was also reflected in the estates with the construction of a new winery on the family estate in Espiells, where base wines were made for cava and for the ageing of still wines. At the beginning of 2000, Juvé y Camps consolidated its leadership in the production of Premium and Gran Reserva cavas. Later, in 2010, the conversion of the vineyards began to achieve integrated and ecological viticulture. The result: a grape of better quality, oenological power and expression of the soils. At Juvé y Camps we maintain the authenticity inherited from past generations and bring the innovation and modernity of a young spirit. We continue to write new pages in our history to turn our premium cavas and wines into a great legend.

In the world of wine, there are wineries that have become true benchmarks thanks to their history, geography and the quality of their products. One of them is Blancher Capdevila Pujol, a winery that has left an indelible mark on the Cava Denomination of Origin.

The history of Blancher Capdevila Pujol dates back to 1898, when the founders of the winery decided to invest in viticulture in this region. Since then, the winery has been passed down from generation to generation, always maintaining the passion and commitment to quality. Today, the winery is recognized as one of the most outstanding in Penedès, both nationally and internationally. One of the most interesting aspects of Blancher Capdevila Pujol is its focus on sustainability and environmental preservation. The winery uses environmentally friendly agricultural practices, such as organic farming and biodiversity conservation. In addition, the winery has implemented advanced technologies to reduce its carbon footprint and minimize the environmental impact of its production.

“When you follow the grape from the vine, you end up loving it” Antoni Capdevila Pujol (1909-1964), founder of Caves Blancher In the world of wine, every winery has its own story and charm, and here we will learn the secrets of Blancher Capdevila Pujol. This winery has been producing high-quality wines for over a century. Blancher Capdevila Pujol is located in the Penedès appellation of origin, one of the oldest and most prestigious in Spain. The Penedès region is known for its diversity of soils and microclimates, which allows it to produce a wide variety of wines. From sparkling and refreshing wines such as cava, to robust and elegant reds, Penedès has something for everyone.

Agustí Torelló Mata was born in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia in 1935, the son of tailors and musicians. He began working at the age of 14 and at 18 he opened the town’s first wine analysis laboratory. In 1960 he married Carmen Sibill Cardús, beginning a life that would always revolve around cava and which would consolidate him as one of the best winemakers in the country. A man devoted to cava, in 1955 he produced his first 500 bottles, while for years he advised and directed important companies in the sector. In 1978 he produced his masterpiece: KRIPTA, recognised as one of the world’s great sparkling wines. With an annual production of 500,000 bottles of cava and 150,000 bottles of wine, it is present in more than 30 countries. Under the current management of their 2 children: Àlex - oenologist, technical director of oenology and viticulture and Gemma, lawyer and company administrator, they are a benchmark in family businesses in the sector. Today, 45 years later, with the alliance of the 3 generations incorporated into the winery, AGUSTÍ TORELLÓ MATA closes the circle of its own history and presents CELLER KRIPTA as the new corporate image and of all its cavas. "Born with the honesty of the humble, we project ourselves to the world with the seal of a family with a cava soul"
