The Vila-rodona cooperative makes wine purely from it's members vineyards, found primarily in the villages of Vila-rodona, Aiguamúrcia, Valls and el Pla de Santa Maria. All the vineyards are registered within Denominacions d'Origen that guarantee the quality of the wines produced.

The grapes from vineyards in Aiguamúrcia produce wines within the Denominació d'Origen Penedès and the grapes from Vila-rodona, el Pla de Santa Maria and Valls produce wines in the Denominació d'Origen Tarragona. Simultaneously these vineyards are at the heart of the Denominació Cava.

Production is predominantly of white wines, made from Macabeu, Parellada and Chardonnay, although in recent years there has been an important increase in the number of red grape plantations, with varieties like Ull de Llebre (Tempranillo), Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot.

The mild mediterranean climate in the area, with rains in the Spring and the Autumn and dry summers cooled by sea breezes, enables a healthy ripening of the grapes and good colour in the red grapes.

The diversity of soils in the four villages produces grapes with different characteristics, enabling blends between the different wines produced. In the white varieties this combination of climate and soils produces grapes, that once elaborated in our cellar, give aromatic and fruity whites.

In the red varieties, the good colour and ripening from the combination of climate and soils in the area enable us to make reds with structure, balance and complexity. These views of the vineyards, farmed in the hills around the Gaià river valley and the area of les Planes, are well worth visiting.

The strict control of each of the vineyards enable us to maintain the traceability of all of our wines and cavas, knowing at all times which vineyards have produced the grapes for each wine. This transparency is increasingly important in the relationship between producer and consumer.
