About the Producer

Maset has a tradition of producing wine in Catalonia dating back to 1777. Cava production started a little later, around the end of the 19th century, and today they produce a series of different sparkling wines. In addition to Catalonia, the family also owns vineyards in Priorat, Rioja, Ribera del Duero and Galicia. Maset's Cava style is very dry and fruity, with a fresh acidity. The vineyards are completely organically cultivated and the production is done with great respect for the tradition of Cava production.
