History and Heritage
Cellers de Can Suriol occupies the 15th-century Castell de Grabuac, a medieval farmhouse in the hills of Alt Penedès, owned by the Suriol family since the 1600s. This 400-year winemaking legacy preserves pre-industrial techniques in ancient cellars teeming with indigenous yeasts, crafting wines of unique character. A Romanesque chapel on the estate adds spiritual depth to its storied past.Vineyards and Organic Practices
The 30-hectare estate features over 25 micro-parcels on clay, limestone, and loam soils, yielding grapes with distinct nuances. Certified organic by CCPAE since 1996, the winery shuns synthetic chemicals, embracing biodynamic methods attuned to lunar cycles. Local varieties thrive: Parellada, Macabeo, Xarel-lo for whites; Monastrell, Garnacha, Tempranillo for reds. The AZIMUT project collaborates with neighbors for organic 'common' wines, promoting regional sustainability.Winemaking Philosophy
Wines ferment spontaneously with native yeasts in stainless steel, amphorae from estate clay, and concrete tanks. Cavas follow traditional bottle-fermentation, aged on lees with minimal intervention—no fining, filtering, or added SO2. The result: vibrant, terroir-driven bottles like rich Xarel-lo whites and untamed Monastrell reds, paired perfectly with local cuisine.Visitor Experiences
Guided tours (about 2 hours) start with a welcome sparkling wine, explore vineyards, castle, and chapel, then delve into organic production before a tasting of 2-3 wines and olive oil from 3 hectares of arbequina trees. Sheep graze the vines, enhancing biodiversity. On-site La Taba restaurant serves seasonal estate dishes amid vineyard views.Penedès Terroir
In Catalonia's Penedès DO, northwest of Barcelona, the estate benefits from Mediterranean climate—dry summers, mild winters—and rivers like the Foix. This setting fosters balanced acidity and intensity, making Suriol wines natural nourishments for body and spirit, true expressions of place.More to explore near Celler can suriol
