PERE VENTURA was created in 1992 and became known as the foundation stone for PVFWE. Pere Ventura is the founder of this winery in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia (Barcelona), which takes his name and makes sparkling wines under the auspices of DO Cava. It is one of the most exclusive companies in the wine sector, synonym of elegance, style and prestige. The PERE VENTURA brand is different, original and unique. It portrays an inimitable image, which speaks for itself in terms of the product and values which have inspired it: quality, elegance, distinction and prestige.
PVFWE acquired CAN BAS in 2011. The initial aim was based on preserving and disseminating the historical legacy of one of the most important vineyard estates in the Penedès wine appellation. This is coupled with the desire to protect this estate, seeped in history, for future generations. CAN BAS is committed to the land, to its people and to its heritage. It is also facing up to the challenge of developing this sleeping beauty of the past, in order to make authentic terroir wines.
PVFWE came to the Priorat wine region in 2013 and to be more precise, to Porrera. This is where the conditions for making wine are exceptional. The wines at MERVM PRIORATI are made with grapes from the winery’s own vineyards, which cover 123 Hectares (303 acres) of land. With renewed spirit, based on overcoming obstacles and paying attention to and caring for the land, as well as perfection in the workplace, this winery is now making wines of the highest of qualities.

Character
PERE VENTURA GRAN VINTAGE PARAJE CALIFICADO CAN BAS is a cava that tells of the place it comes from, a small area of vineyards qualified after their special soil conditions and a micro climate that sets them apart from the rest of the vines grown around them. GRAN VINTAGE represents the Paraje Can Bas: the identity of this cava comes from its origin, the series of variables (climate, geology, soil and biome) that determine the expression of the grapes and yield a unique must that is the reflection and interpretation of that vintage. The uniqueness of the terroir, together with quality criteria of its production and ageing, create a cava with distinctive characteristics. It also draws value added and identity from its history and the age of the soil.
As it names singles out, GRAN VINTAGE is a vintage cava representing the lifecycle of the vines one particular year. Iconic, elegant and of distinguished character, its production is limited and it is only made when the grapes are of the highest sensory quality and health, maintaining the highest standards of quality set for this product.
