Can Rafols del Caus
Founded by Carlos Esteva in 1979 when he returned to his grandfather’s estate in Avinyonet del Penedès located just 30 minutes inland from Barcelona. As well as nurturing rare and indigenous grapes he has restored the old Masia or Finca to its former glory and built one of the most impressive wine cellars we have visited (the entrance and cellar itself feels like a cross between a set from an Indiana Jones and Bond movie!). What to expect from the wines – mineral laden whites and complex, elegant reds with lots of energy and personality.
