Mas de la Basserola is a family winery where we, the Vives family, have made wine without interruption since 1869.
The farmhouse, which gives the wines their name and where four generations of the family live today, is home to the winery, the other farm buildings, the woodland and the farmland with vineyards, olive and almond trees, vegetable gardens, fruit trees, crops and animals—creating a natural agricultural balance that shapes the character of the wines we make.
The farmhouse stands on the Pla de Manlleu at 560 m above sea level, between the Montmell range and Montagut, at 861 and 964 m respectively. Soils that are very calcareous at depth and fertile on the surface, the mere 20 km separating us from the Mediterranean, old Parellada vines—some more than 70 years old—, the microclimate, the biodiversity and the landscape that shelters them, together with careful, respectful winemaking, give life to our fresh, mineral wines, full of the nuances of the terroir.
We began making sparkling wine by the traditional method in 1987, and have done so 100% organically since 2000, always hand-harvesting our own grapes. Since then, with every vintage, we have strived to convey in our wines the essence of this mountain spot surrounded by forest.
