MAS RODÓ winery and estate has been founded in June of 2005 and begun its activity in the market in March 2009 featuring its first three wines.
MAS RODÓ was born with a clear dedication to excellence in winemaking. From the initial choice of terrain and grape varieties and the elaborated construction of the winery to the process of wine crafting, we have always been guided by our drive for excellence.
Our objective is to produce wines which will make us proud to innovate and surprise the palate. We are passionate about innovation and we apply most up-to-date technology for the art of making fine wine as well as preservation of the ecosystem of our environment.
The estate of MAS RODO covers an area of 150 hectares in Mediona (Province of Barcelona). It stretches along several valleys and slopes of the mountainous region of Penedes with elevation exceeding 480 meters. It has 50 hectares of crops, MAS RODO is situated in an agricultural area differential for growing grapes: it has sandy, calcareous and stony variety of soils, which together with its airy gentle slopes, solar orientation, and day to night temperature changes offers suitable characteristics for it’s well-looked after vines to give us their best.
The winery is located on a hill, and its modern building created in 2006 has been integrated in the original eighteenth-century manor.
The building of MAS RODÓ was finalist in the second edition of the awards “Living with Wood” granted by the Spanish Council for Promotion of Wood and Arquinfad sponsored by the Government of Spain and the Ministry of Science. From over 200 architectural projects carried out and presented, 14 studies of architecture have been declared finalists, two of which are of the wineries: Richard Rogers by PROTOS winery and Carles Sala by MAS RODÓ winery.
The winery is located in the middle of the vineyards, where the grapes are manually harvested and carefully crafted into high quality wine. Both the winery and vineyards are designed for low yield in order to coax more richness and expression in our wines.
The characteristics of the vineyards allow us to have white varieties as Parellada, Montonega, Macabeo, Muscat, and Riesling, and red varieties as Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo and Merlot and combine them with experimental varieties of perfect acclimatization planted in our property, including Marcelan, Prieto Picudo and Verdejo.
Grapes are harvested manually, even on trellised vines, then collected in boxes and loaded on small trailers, needing no travel time to be delivered to the winery. The selected grapes of the highest quality and in best conditions reach the winery where they undergo the second selection.
Ecological, agricultural and oenological care is predominant in the project to offer the product elaborated with maximum care and feeling to please your senses.
