Winemaker

Agusti founded the company in the 1970s. He has since stepped down, and his son Alex and daughter Gemma have taken over the helm. A unique feature of the winery is that it produces cavas from a single vintage. Normally, when making cava, like Champagne, a blend of different vintages is created to create a distinct style. Agusti takes a different approach and allows each cava to develop its own distinct identity. The long bottle aging process is also a defining factor in the typical Agusti style.
