SERVICES>The cellar boutique:
wine and oil shop
Our restaurant does not have a wine menu as such,
as we offer our guests the list of wine and cava from our wine-cellar.
These wines and cava can be acquired from the boutique at warehouse price
or served to you at your table with a fixed supplement.
The wine and cava from our wine-cellar are mostly from the Penedès
region, although some come from other winegrowing areas in Catalonia.
All our wine and cava come from cellars which produce their own products
with maximum respect for the natural characteristics of each grape and
harvest, and which are the fruit of a very caring and careful attention
to the vines and in the wine-cellars.
The result of this dedication is a selection of wine and cava with an
excellent quality-price balance.
The work of these wine- and cava-cellars offers results that are constantly
improving in quality, with varieties of grapes that are recognized internationally,
including some local varieties that had almost been forgotten in the elaboration
of quality wines.
New techniques, together with the enthusiasm and eagerness to excel, are
breaking the moulds of the clichés that existed in the Penedès.
As well as the excellent white wine and cava being produced in this area,
there are also great red wines emerging of a very high quality that are
starting to reach the standards of some of the best European wines, although
they have yet to develop their full potential.
It is also worth mentioning the Priorat region, whose wines, 10 years
ago, were considered rough and of low quality. Other winegrowing regions
such as the Empordà, the Terra Alta or the Conca de Barberà,
are areas that are producing excellent wines, although they are still
largely unknown in this field.
At the moment, our wine-cellar holds around 80 different wines, and we
add to that weekly, as we continue to discover, taste and value new wines
and cava.
We also sell the extra virgin olive oil from the region, elaborated with
the local variety arbequina. The olive tree is the second main cultivation
of the Penedès region, after the vine.
