Finca Viladellops

Finca Viladellops is a historic estate in Penedès dating back to 1877, owned by the Desvalls family, whose connection to the Garraf Massif stretches back centuries. The modern winery was revitalised in 1999 by Marcelo Desvalls, with guidance from renowned winemaker Josep Lluís Pérez, with a clear vision: to express the Mediterranean identity of the region through indigenous varieties and thoughtful, low-intervention viticulture. The estate extends across around 60 hectares under vine, all certified organic since 2006. Set between the mountains and the sea, the vineyards sit on poor limestone and clay soils rich in marine fossils, naturally limiting yields and contributing to the wines’ hallmark saline, mineral edge. Proximity to the Mediterranean brings cooling breezes and moderates the climate, allowing for slower, more balanced ripening while preserving freshness and aromatic clarity.

Winemaking follows a precise but restrained approach. Fruit is hand-harvested and handled gently, with native yeast fermentations and carefully controlled extraction to prioritise purity and finesse. Ageing takes place in stainless steel or concrete, avoiding oak influence and allowing the character of the grape and site to remain fully transparent. The resulting wines are defined by freshness, subtlety and a distinctly Mediterranean sense of place.
