Clos Montblanc is a 300 years old family owned winery which is currently managed by the passionate oenologist Joseph Vadri. He got the opportunity to learn techniques & knowledge from wine producers all over the world, which he applies in the traditional wine production of Clos Montblanc. The winery's 80 hectares of vineyards are spread out, on different heights, over the impressive nature of D.O. Conca de Barberà. This has a positive influence on the wine production in order to gain an optimal maturity of the grapes. All the wines are saved in their impressive wine cellars, which contains over 1.500 barrels. Clos Montblanc is a very traditional winery but is open for innovation and modern techniques in order to produce the best quality. Therefore, they highly value the nature & sustainability during their wine making process. That's why 100% of their water use contains rainwater.
