The vineyard is the beginning love
of the raw material

From its very beginnings, the house of Juvé & Camps, has produced wine solely from grapes grown in its own vineyards and has never bought in a single litre of wine. This philosophy, passed down from generation to generation since the building of the first “bodega” in the early years of the century, has been the drive to purchase more vineyard land. The expansion, improvement and care of the vineyards has first call on the companies resources. They are all located in prime sites where each vine variety can give of its best. The family has always insisted on top quality fruit with low yields per vine to achieve the very best. Some 450 hectares of magnificent vineyards is the true patrimony of Juvé & Camps.

In the mid 1950’s the family bought the Espiells vineyards, the name comes from a small chapel, a true jewel of the Romanesque dating from the 9th. century. The vineyards of Casa Vella, Can Torres and Can Rius were subsequently added to form a total parcel of nearly 200 hectares of superb grape growing land. All these sites lie between 180 and 245 metres above sea level and are sheltered from the prevailing cold winds by the holy mountain of Montserrat which forms a striking back drop to a landscape of extraordinary beauty. Here is where we grow the traditional varieties Macabeo and Xarel·lo as well as the prestigious Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. A few years later La Cuscona, to the south of San Sadurní, was purchased. This is a small but excellent vineyard on deep, flat and fertile land with a distinct microclimate. Finally, the lands of Can Massana, Alzinetes, El Prat and Mas Pagès were added to the family holdings. These are situated in the Mediona highlands and are where the indigenous “Parellada” vines are grown alongside the classic, international varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot.

This impressive collection of vineyards allows the company to follow an ambitious agricultural policy of growing each vine variety in the most suitable areas. The methods of cultivation are environmentally friendly and complement the natural advantages of the soil, the climate and the fine, Mediterranean sunlight.
