Mas de la Basserola is a family winery where, since 1869, the Vives family has been making wines continuously.
At the mas, which gives its name to the wines and where four generations of the family currently live, you'll find the winery, other agricultural facilities, forests, cultivated lands with vineyards, olive trees, almond trees, vegetable gardens, fruit trees, crops, and animals. This creates a natural agricultural balance that defines the character of the wines we produce.
The mas is located in the Pla de Manlleu at 560 meters above sea level, between the Montmell mountain range and Montagut, at altitudes of 861 and 964 meters above sea level, respectively. The soils are very calcareous at depth and fertile at the surface, as well as the mere 20 km that separate us from the Mediterranean Sea. The old Parellada vineyards, some over 70 years old, the microclimate, biodiversity, and the surrounding landscape, together with a careful and respectful winemaking process, give life to our fresh, mineral wines, full of terroir nuances.
We began making sparkling wine using the traditional method in 1987, and since 2000, we have done so in 100% organic fashion, always with manual harvesting and our own grapes. Since then, we have strived to transmit the essence of this mountainous area surrounded by forests in every vintage of the wines we make.
