Celler Mas Llunes

Celler Mas Llunes is a family-owned winery based in Garriguella, in the Alt Empordà comarca of Catalonia, Spain. It sits at the foot of the Albera natural park, framed between the Mediterranean and the Canigó massif, and describes a family winegrowing tradition of more than 700 years, with ancestors already working the land at Garriguella in 1331. The estate is today known for organic viticulture and for wines with a marked Empordà character. The winery farms 80 hectares of its own vineyards under organic production rules, prioritising the traditional Empordà varieties Garnatxa and Carinyena, some of the vines being over a hundred years old. Mas Llunes states that it only makes wines from its own vineyards, producing around 150,000 bottles annually. Its philosophy centres on caring for the raw material — extraordinary vineyards yielding extraordinary grapes and, in turn, exceptional wine — while working with native varieties and respecting the environment. The portfolio spans a range of styles and ranges, including whites, reds, rosés, sweet wines and a sparkling wine. Examples visible on the official site include the no-sulphite Esventat range, the Singulars Garnatxa Roja and Carinyena Blanca, the Àuria and Nívia whites, the Emporion, Rhodes, Cercium and Finca Butarós reds, the Maragda range, the Garnatxa d'Empordà sweet wines, the Cypsela and Maragda rosés, and the sparkling Encís de Lluna. The estate also offers wine tourism experiences, such as the Vi-o-Diversitat vineyard walk through the Serra de l'Albera natural park, focused on biodiversity recovery and environmental awareness, and a historical visit to Civil War bunkers and refuges around Garriguella, ending with a tasting of wines and olive oils. The climate at Garriguella is Mediterranean, with cold but not overly intense winters and warm summers tempered by sea breezes; the Tramuntana north wind is considered favourable because it dries the vineyards, prevents humidity and helps achieve ideal ripening while giving the wines their own character. The soils provide the base from which the grapes take nutrients and water. The winery presents itself as forward-looking while rooted in its past, aiming to make its ancestors proud of how it works.

Celler Mas Llunes traces its roots to a family winegrowing tradition in Garriguella, in the Alt Empordà region of Catalonia, Spain. According to the winery, its ancestors were already working the land at Garriguella in 1331, a heritage it describes as more than 700 years of cultivating the soil. The estate presents itself as continuing the dream begun by those ancestors, combining a long family history with a modern, environmentally conscious approach to winemaking. The winery is located at the foot of the Albera natural park, between the Mediterranean Sea and the Canigó massif, a setting that shapes its identity and the character of its wines. Over time, Mas Llunes has developed a philosophy centred on native varieties — particularly Garnatxa and Carinyena — and on organic production. It farms 80 hectares of its own vineyards and states that it only makes wines from its own grapes, some from vines more than a hundred years old. Annual production is around 150,000 bottles. The modern portfolio reflects both tradition and experimentation. It includes no-sulphite wines such as the Esventat range, single-variety and singular wines such as Singulars Garnatxa Roja and Carinyena Blanca, white wines including Àuria and Nívia, reds such as Emporion, Rhodes, Cercium and Finca Butarós, rosés including Cypsela and Maragda Rosat, sweet wines such as Garnatxa d'Empordà Solera, Dolç Moscat and Garnatxa d'Empordà Ambre, and the sparkling Encís de Lluna. The Maragda range appears across white, red and rosé styles. Beyond wine production, Mas Llunes has developed wine tourism and environmental activities. The Vi-o-Diversitat experience invites visitors to discover the organic vineyards on a walking route through the Serra de l'Albera natural park and to learn about the estate's biodiversity recovery and environmental awareness project. A historical visit explores the Civil War bunkers and refuges around Garriguella — site of the last aerial combat of the Spanish Civil War in Catalonia — and concludes with a tasting of five wines and three olive oils. These activities connect the winery's agricultural heritage with the landscape and history of the Empordà.
