About the Producer

We are excited to introduce Can Ràfols dels Caus - a new and historic producer to the portfolio from the beautiful Massis del Garraf region of the Penedès.

Founded in the late 1970s by Carlos Esteva - an architect and engineer turned wine lover - he remastered a broken-down and abandoned winery into an oasis for all of his passions - art, wine, and design.

They make several cuvées tiers, and have a stunning library release cellar - we are debuting two lines: Terraprima & Gran Caus.

The Terraprima range embodies the flavor of rescued land, marking Carlos Esteva's latest endeavor. Sourced from Mas Sunyer in the Massis del Garraf, these vines were once threatened by the proposed construction of a cement factory. Carlos preserved this heritage by acquiring the land and saving these old vines from destruction thus preventing the construction of the quarry.

The Gran Caus range is the heart of Can Ràfols dels Caus, clearly reflecting his philosophy and style. These were the first wines created by Esteva in the 1980s, which he continually seeks to perfect, both in the vineyard and the winery over the last 40+ years.
