The vitivinicultural “Terroir” is a concept that refers to a space on which a collective knowledge of the interactions between an identifiable physical and biological environment and the applied vitivinicultural practices is developed, which confer distinctive characteristics to the products originating from this space.

The place

The winery is located between Santa Eugènia i Biniali, from a flat topography and clay terrain, the landscape is defined by the Tramuntana mountains and the road to the farm. Thus the winery faces parallel to them to create the facade.

Weather

We are located in a depressed plain, where the wind and cold are characteristic. The east-west with a large roof closed south of the building expresses the need to close to the sun and allow ventilation and shade on the north side. The cover works as a shadow with 15 cm insulation and solar orientation minimizes the impact on other fronts.

Morphology

A winery must meet three primary aspects namely: production, location and climate. These concepts are understood in the wine world as “terroir” and we define the morphology of the building.

Production

The linear shape of the building responds to the production of wine, the grapes enter the eastern entrance, where there is the front porch, there is stripped and pressed, moving to room deposit, which creates fermentation more to the left and below the barrel room is situated on some wines should continue to mature, according to west found room bottled and labeled, connected to a room cooled to conserve before sale, the west entrance there is the sales room where the wine is tasted.

The average temperatures of the thermoclay and the stone define the interior-exterior boundary of the building without the need to insulate the facades, since they are protected from direct rays thanks to the sloping roof facing south, insulated with 15cm of cork.

Ground contact

The cellar is located in the basement, since it requires special conditions of temperature and humidity. The retaining walls are stone gabions to take advantage of the thermal mass and the soil moisture that remained during the summer. The contribution of ventilation and temperature is carried out through pipes connected to geothermal heat pumps.

Thermal strategy

The winery works with 100% renewable solar energy, wind generation, passive ventilation systems and geothermal energy. In the cellar, 18º are needed, which are fully covered by these passive systems.
