According to a document written in Latin and dated 1385 (pictured above), a Llopart family’s ancestor, Bernardus Leopardi, was granted some vineyards located in the present country estate Can Llopart de Subirats.
The secular dedication to vine cultivation, elaboration and wine growing reaches its turning point, after intense testings, with the production of the first Sparklilng Wine Llopart bottles at the old country house cellar in 1887 (original bottles pictured above).
Located in a singular enclave, in the municipality of Subirats, in the mountainous area of our region, Can Llopart’s estate comprises 500 hectares between vineyard and forest at 360 meters of medium altitude. The 102 hectares of our own vineyards are the essence of our personality. We cultivate the land organically, according to the parameters of sustainable cultivation, with the utmost respect for the environment.
The peculiar geological configuration of our estate, with its varied orography in the form of slopes and terraces, and with a shallow soil depth, gives rise to vines with a large root extension, limited vigor and one of the lowest yields in our wine-growing area.
The grapes are harvested by hand and whole-pressed to maintain their properties to the maximum. We ferment the musts at low temperature to preserve the freshest aromas in the wine. The base wines are bottled at the beginning of the year and the bottles are placed in the aging cellar, where, at constant temperature and humidity, in the dark, they will rest for more than 18 months. Once the aging time is over, we riddle the bottles and disgorge to remove the wine lees, add the Brut dosage and cork each Reserva Brut bottle with the definitive cork.
