Can Valles is a family estate ran by Jordi Valles and his wife Vicky, with the help of their daughter Victoria. Their origins are a long history, dating back to 1486 which is 22 generations of winemaking. Can Valles are based in the region of Penedès, which is located in Catalonia, 60km south west of Barcelona. The mountains of the region look on to the estate which sits in a basin between the foothills and the Mediterranean Sea. The vineyards sit at 400m above sea level and soils are calcareous, with a mix of clay and well-draining stony terrain. Rainfall of 550mm per year allows dry farming for water retention. The core philosophy of the family starts in the vineyards with biodynamic principles, all vineyards are farmed organically and sustainably with some being DEMETER certified. Winemaker Anna Baqués practices low intervention, using native grapes to the region to craft delicious, gastronomic lead wines.
