Masia de la Roqua is a family winery situated in Olivella, right in the middle of the Massís del Garraf (“massís describes an irregular chain of mountains”). The estate dates back to the twelfth century and is currently managed by the latest generation of the family, Jot Camps. The Massís del Garraf is a mountainous range between Barcelona and Tarragona. To the north, it borders the L’Ordal mountain chain and, to the south, the Mediterranean Sea. The mountains, often higher than 500 m above sea level, are calcareous and contain a large number of holes and caves. Several small torrents and streams flow between them. It is within this landscape that their vines lie. Many plots are in direct contact with the forest, fostering interaction and contributing to the great biodiversity found on the property. In addition, none of the vineyards are contiguous with those of other producers. This allows the vineyards to be managed under strict organic and biodynamic techniques.

The objective of Masia de la Roqua is to grow wines that identify with the land and reflect their particular location; for example, in the Massís del Garraf, with its singular soil and distinct climate, the influence of the Mediterranean Sea, the forest, the vegetation… all in all, wines that express a differentiated terroir.

The vineyard house dates back to 1164, the cellar was named in 1549, and winegrowing began in 1678. The Mediterranean climate makes the area ideal for growing olive trees, almond trees, and vines. The winemaker, Jot Camps, comes from a lineage of vintners. He was taught how to work with vines by his father before completing Oenology in Barcelona and moving to France to further his wine education. He specialises in producing small batches of clean and complex artisanal natural wines for all budgets.
