Alta Alella · Celler de les Aus

In the heart of Catalonia, the Pujol-Busquets family, Josep Maria, Cristina Guillén, and their daughters, Mireia and Georgina, shape the story of Alta Alella Mirgin.

Today, their fifty hectares of organic vineyards span Alella and Tiana, rooted in a commitment to certified organic farming. Alta Alella stands as the pioneering sulfite-free winemaker in the DO Cava appellation since 2006. Under CELLER DE LES AUS, they craft "transparent" wines, mirroring soil and vintage nuances. Manual harvesting, with meticulous ripeness checks, ensures each grape variety reaches its pinnacle before harvest.
