The mission at AT Roca, founded in 2013 by Agustí Torello Roca, his father and aunt, is to showcase their region: the eastern part of Penedès near the Massís del Garraf and the foothills of the d’Ordal mountains. AT Roca only works with indigenous Catalan grape varieties, and only using indigenous yeasts while harvesting 100% of their grapes by hand (most grapes in Cava and Classic Penedès are harvested by machine).
Agustí studied winemaking in Tarragona, and afterward apprenticed with vigneron Bruno Michel, one of Champagne’s pioneers of organic farming, and this sparkler is made in the traditional Champagne method.
