Mas Blanch i Jové was created in 2006 in Lleida, where intriguing wine is produced under the lesser-known D.O. Costers del Segre. As is often the case in Catalunya, the project had its roots a few generations earlier. The family vineyards are located in the town of La Pobla de Cérvoles (neighbouring the Priorat and Montsant wine regions) in a mountainous ecosystem with strong Mediterranean influences. They are planted on rocky limestone-clay soil at 650-850m above sea level and, as are all Catalan vineyards, they are each specially named: l’Esporgada, ElsLlinars, El Plad’en Mas, El Senill and St. Joan. The viticulture is organic (no herbicides or pesticides are used), and grapes are harvested 100% manually and then undergo a rigorous selection process. In terms of wine production, they source their grapes from their five estates, located in the DO Costers de Segre, consisting of 11 hectares of vineyards planted with the red varieties Garnacha, Cariñena, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo and Merlot and the white varieties Garnacha and Macabeo.
