Vins El Cep was born from the union of four families of winegrowers and four estates. Can Llopart de les Alzines, an estate dating back to 1499, surrounded by the vines, which produce their grapes, was the location chosen to build the Vins El Cep winery. The Carreras, Esteve, Masana and Parera families had already forged links in past times, which went far beyond being good neighbors and friends. They all had long experience in agriculture and in their families’ winemaking tradition. Gil Masana, Josep Carreras, Pere Parera and Josep Esteve are members of families with deep-rooted agricultural traditions. These neighbors and friends decided to become business partners. They therefore combined their forces, land and know-how in order to embark on a risky, yet exciting venture together. In the 80s, with clear ideas about what they wanted to achieve and the necessary drive, they founded Vins El Cep. The backbone of this project was, and always will be, these four friends who combined their passion, knowledge, and love for their land, and who have made the business what it is today. They had the grapes and over time, they managed to refine both the vineyards and the winery, to obtain high quality, expressive wines.
