Mont Marçal Vinícola, S.A.
The winery Mont Marçal Vinícola was founded in 1975 by Manuel Sancho who, after many years of dedication to the world of the music, directed his activity towards a new art; the world of wine and cava. Since 2015, under new ownership, the philosophy of the winery and the dedication to producing quality wines under the Denominations of Origén Penedès, Catalunya, and Cava continue. The winery, originally a 14th century farmhouse and then a 19th century convent, is now a state-of-the-art winemaking facility.

Deep red currant color with violet highlights. Fine perlage. Pronounced aromas of blackberry and cherry over background of fig compote and plum. Yeasty notes from the lees. Fresh and fruity on the palate with a soft, elegant finish.
