The Winery
The Monastery of Sant Sebastià dels Gorgs was founded in 1024 by the nobleman Mir Geribert, self-styled Prince of Olèrdola, who led a revolt against the Count of Barcelona Ramon Berenguer I. During the first years, San Sebastián de los Gorgs became an Abbey and the monastery of reference for the whole Penedès, Anoia and Baix Llobregat, with many possessions of land and vineyards. In 1409 it became dependent on the Abbey of Montserrat and community life disappeared. With the disentailments of the 19th century, the monastery became the property of private individuals.
The wines in this collection are fresh and aromatic and are made in an artisanal way with grapes from small vineyards surrounding the Monastery of Sant Sebastià dels Gorgs (DO Penedès). Faithful to the varieties grown in the Penedès, these wines are the result of the meticulous work of wanting to capture their origin as clearly as possible. They are honest, frank and direct wines with a clear intention to be enjoyed from the first moment.
