Celler Mas d'en Canonge

Mas d'en Canonge is a newly established winery and one of those which exudes a sense of harmony and solidarity. Its owner, Salvador Alceda, comes from a family involved in the catering business, and it wasn’t until he acquired an estate in the village of Marçá, with old vineyard plantations sheltered by the Llabería mountain range, that he came up with the idea of making wine. The land and grapes were promising, and the conditions were ideal. What he was lacking was expertise, but by sheer coincidence…and football (they both had sons playing at the time) he was soon to have a chance meeting with one of the Priorat’s best oenologists: Toni Alcover. They were immediately on the same wavelength and before long had bottled their first vintage: 2007.

The project continues to make progress with the best will and efforts of the whole team, and Mas d'en Canonge, with its new installations, is a winery perfectly equipped for carrying out all wine-making processes, including labelling and storage.

A point to note: those of us who have been lucky enough to visit their barrel cellar and taste a new vintage of theirs, especially what will be one of their new releases, know that this is a winery to watch closely. Meanwhile, we can all enjoy their Sons and Ressons, genuine Montsant wines offering an excellent price-quality ratio, and also their fresh, lively white and rosé wines, namely Soleies and Sorres.
