History

When you're born in the heart of winemaking country like the Terra Alta, in a family with a tradition of winemaking, it's only a matter of time until you end up involved in "enology": Your thoughts wander to the green of the vinayards and first must and eventually wine starts circulating your veins...

Nowadays, as it is so easy to travel the world, trying different wines, you end up asking yourself if your own vineyards, that your parents or grandparents planted and nurtured throughout their lives can't produce quality fruit, a noble wine, a wine with "roots", that specific characteristic that we call typicity. Once your goal driving work in the vineyards and in the cellar is that of quality, the answer to that question is squarely "yes".

The climate and terrains reinforce the possibilities: Low rainfall, many hours of sunshine and a variety of soils from sandy through clay to rocky calcareous soils all contribute to make the grapes grown in the Terra Alta particularly appropriate: High concentration of polifenols from low yielding old vines, combined with good ripening almost every year.

The current generation of the Clua family enjoys a priviledged heritage. The quality of our wines is based on the work of previous generations in the vineyards without which we'd be unable to produce the wines that we do.
