From generation to generation,
from the beginning of the 20th century,the Bolet family
has been working at the cultivation of vines.
Mr. Jaime Bolet Galofre being the person who undertook
the laborious task of replanting the vines, with American
roots grafted onto the white and red varieties, native
to the county, in order to be able to overcome the philoxera
disease.
With grapes from these varieties, wines were made in
the wine cellar,situated in the farmhouse on Mas Lluet
farm.
In the beginning size of the vineyard was small but
it has expanded through the years to reach 66 hectares,
at present situated in different locations and altitudes
of the municipality of Castellvi de la Marca, on our
own land at Can Planas d'en Perull, Las Cunilleras and
Mas Lluet where the production business is situated.
Wine has been produced here since the start of the
20th century, and it was Mr. Antonio Bolet Pascual who
modernised the cellar in the 1970s, and in 1982 proceeded
to bottle the first wines and cavas, all exclusively
from his own harvest.
