The origins of the Roger Goulart winery date back to the end of the 19th century when the Canals family, inspired by the wineries of the time in the Champagne region, decided to build unique facilities dedicated exclusively to the production of natural sparkling wines using the traditional method. . An ambitious project with the aim of producing sparkling wines of the highest quality.
The result is a majestic Modernist-style winery built by Ignaci Mas i Morell, a contemporary of Antonio Gaudi, in the early years of the 20th century and under which an impressive set of underground galleries was excavated 30 meters deep and more than a kilometer in length. These galleries treasure unique temperature and humidity conditions for the production of highly expressive sparkling wines.
Today, and after 140 years of accumulated experience, Roger Goulart continues to produce in these same underground cellars and faithful to the exclusive production of high-end cavas.
