The Winery
Fresh from making his fortune in the Americas and with a mind full of ideas and ambitious projects, Agustí Vilaret founded the Mont-Ferrant winery in 1865. Thus, he bought Mas Ferrant in the town of Blanes (Girona) and with the aim of becoming a champagne maker he planted vineyards, built a new winery and acquired the necessary tools to make the first Mont-Ferrant cava. Since then, Mont-Ferrant cavas have stood out for developing a personality marked by deep acidity, great aging capacity and a character that is difficult to forget.
