CAN RAFOLS DELS CAUS

Can Rafols dels Caus is the 17th century manor house where Carlos Esteva settled at the end of the 1970s and devoted himself to the production of fine wines. The property, which covers around 450 hectares, lies deep in the heart of the Garraf Massif, an 800km2 rocky outcrop that forms part of the Catalan coastal mountain range.The Garraf Massif is formed by a series of steep rugged hills that rise up to 600 metres above sea level. The winery's intention is to interpret all the constitutive variables that form their terroir in order to give it the most complete expression. Production is sensitive and intelligent, drawing out the properties of both grape juice and skin to communicate a philosophy of elegance, balance, longevity and a taste of the intangible. The wines seek to illustrate the character of the Garraf Massif through the eyes of Carlos Esteva, and they must therefore be Mediterranean, warm, tough and at the same time elegant, sophisticated and complex. Can Ràfols dels Caus wines are elegant but powerful, complex but digestible, mature but dry, refined but firm.
