TEIXAR “WINE OF FARM”
Teixar de Vinyes Domènech is the first wine of the D.O.Montsant and the fourth in Catalonia that INCAVI has granted the classification of “Vi de finca” . It is a recognition that distinguishes the wine for its unique climatic characteristics , made from grapes from a single field, and follows the protocols ,
production points, and more demanding processing and yields due to the DO, as well as a national and international prestige over ten years .
The name of the Teixarde Vinyes Domènech estate comes from a place in Capçanes known as the Font del Teixar, an area of 3ha located in a protected natural area of great beauty and ecological value between the Serra de Llaberia and el Montalt, at 400m of altitude, surrounded by mountains with pine forests and Mediterranean low lands. The terrain is very irregular, which promotes intense winds and lower sun exposure, which delays the vegetative cycle of the plant, promoting as lower maturation period and providing the Grenache grape’s maximum expression.
These differentiating features provide uniqueness and singularity to the wine, leading to DO Montsant granting it the Prize for the best WINE-VITICULTOR 2019.

TEIXAR “Vi de Finca Qualificada” de Vinyes Domènech
A bioclimatic, architectural and functional building. It is well integrated in the surrounding countryside and produces electricity using renewable energies of up to 90%. Rainwater is also used, together with natural spring water fulfilling all the winery’s water needs.
An integrated Green-Winery concept for the entire winemaking process, ranging from organic vineyards, bioclimatic architecture and green technologies, helps minimize the effects on landscape, fauna and flora, and avoids modifying ecosystems and habitats.
