At Mastinell, we believe there is only one way to perfect the art of wine and cava making; do it with love, dedication, and respect for the environment.

En Mastinell trabajamos con mimo, dedicación y respeto por el medio ambiente. Solo así podemos ser el Atelier del Cava.

Cavas and wines from Penedés

Mastinell is a small winery, producing cavas and wines bursting with Mediterranean spirit. The Sant Pau hill shelters our privileged and fertile fields from northern winds, creating the perfect, temperate microclimate for our cavas and wines.

A history of commitment and dedication accompanies innovation and creativity on our journey to create wines and cavas worthy of the region’s traditions. Our modern outlook blends with the respect for the traditions of the lands where we work. This tenacity has propelled us to heights unattainable by many: being part of the top ten most prestigious cavas in the Penedés area.

The Cava Artist’s Workshop

Vine growing plays a fundamental role in the heart of the Penedés region, a place with no other boundaries other than the sea breeze, the mountains, and the Mediterranean sun. Today, Mastinell holds hands with the winemaking traditions of the past and steps confidently into the future. We know no other way. Our future is one where the fruits of the land continue to provide wines and cavas brimming with our trademark quality and passion.

Mastinell wines are continually lauded, garnering numerous awards around the globe. The special care we take of our processes, from grape to glass, results in wines and cavas that deserve savoring at exceptional moments. Carpe Diem.

Cava making process

Our vineyards are the living and breathing embodiment of the Mediterranean weather, a climate that breathes gently over our organically cultivated vineyards. We have eliminated herbicides and restrict to a minimum the use of phytosanitary products (pesticides). The combination of traditional techniques, beautiful grapes, and state-of-the-art production technology ensures we create premium products.

By harvesting by hand, we treat each vine as the treasure it is, selecting only the very best bunches from each plant. Without that initial love and respect, we cannot make our cavas and wines.

We have cultivated deep-rooted relationships with several winegrowers in the Penedés area, all of whom buy into our ecological and sustainability ethos. These architects of the landscape share the best harvests from their unseen plots with us, offering perfect fruits from unique and special zones that guarantee excellent crops every year.

At Mastinell, we are proud of our native varieties and make our cavas from Macabeo, Xarel·lo, Parellada, and Trepat. Always outwards-looking, our innovative soul has also blended Chardonnay into some of our cavas for that international touch.

Once the entire production is complete, the coupage (blend) is bottled. It is then left to rest en rima – the cava bottles are laid horizontally in riddling racks during fermentation to obtain their real character. Time is as valued as the process, which is why all of our Reserva cavas age for three years and Gran Reservas for 3-12 years.

Cavas

Mediterranean vines, careful pressing, and a long aging process are what define our wines. They evolve slowly in the quietness of our cellar until bursting out to become one of our exceptional Reserva or Gran Reserva cavas. These award-winning cavas are garlanded year after year with prestigious awards that recognize their quality.
