About Gran Caus Blanc

In the heart of the Massís del Garraf (Penedès, Catalonia), where limestone sculpts the landscape and history intertwines with the vineyard, Gran Caus Blanc is born. This white wine is the living testament to the vision of Carlos Esteva, who, upon arriving at Can Ràfols dels Caus in 1979, not only restored the noble family estate but also revolutionised the area's viticulture.
 
The wines that comprise the Gran Caus line were the first that Carlos Esteva created in the 1980s; they are a true reflection of the philosophy and style of Can Ràfols dels Caus and are distinguished by their nobility, elegance, and authenticity.
 
Carlos Esteva is one of the pioneers in crafting great xarel·los from Penedès. Tirelessly perfecting his wines, both in the vineyard and the winery, his blend with chenin blanc and chardonnay broke new ground and established a new language for Mediterranean white wines.
 
Gran Caus Blanc is crafted respecting the essence of the terroir: gentle pressing, without destemming, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts of each variety separately, in stainless steel tanks and cement vats, and ageing in bottle for a year before release. Without any wood intervention, its freshness and purity are elegantly expressed.
 
Gran Caus Blanc is not just a wine; it is a story in every sip. A reflection of the patience and vision of those who understand that greatness is built over time. 
 
This wine is a journey, a moment of calm where time seems to stand still. Its capacity for evolution is a testament to its depth: it can be cellared for decades, allowing its story to continue unfolding with remarkable beauty.
