Castell d’Age

Castell d’Age is a family-run, woman-led winery located in the Alt Penedès region of Catalonia, at the foothills of the Montserrat mountain range. Established in 1989 by the women of the Junyent family, the winery was founded with a clear mission: to cultivate the land with respect, produce wines of authenticity and character, and champion organic and biodynamic viticulture long before it became a trend.

What began as a pioneering project has grown into one of the most respected ecological wine estates in Penedès, guided today by three generations of women committed to sustainability, innovation and terroir expression.

Origins & Philosophy

From the start, Castell d’Age embraced organic farming, becoming a regional reference point at a time when very few estates followed such practices. By 2011, the winery transitioned fully to biodynamic agriculture, deepening its connection to natural cycles, soil life and vineyard biodiversity.

Their philosophy centres on patience, balance and a profound respect for nature. The winery believes that great wines are born from healthy soils and thoughtful stewardship, not from chemical intervention or industrial shortcuts. Every stage of production reflects this mindset: from composting and biodynamic preparations to hand-harvesting and minimal intervention in the cellar.

Vineyards & Terroir

The estate spans multiple vineyard sites across the Penedès DO, each selected for its ideal combination of soil, altitude and microclimate. This diversity allows every grape variety to grow in the environment where it thrives best.

The vineyards include:

• Traditional Catalan varieties: Xarel·lo, Macabeu, Parellada, Garnacha

• International grapes: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon

• Biodynamic soils: cultivated through regenerative, ecological practices

Matching grape variety to soil type is a key element of the Castell d’Age philosophy. Every parcel is treated as a unique ecosystem, allowing the wines to express a strong sense of place.

Wines & Cavas

Castell d’Age produces a wide range of organic and biodynamic wines and cavas, from classic sparkling wines to natural, zero-sulphite bottlings.

Signature styles include:

• Traditional-method cavas: brut nature, reserva and gran reserva

• Monovarietal cavas such as Chardonnay or Pinot Noir rosé

• Still wines made from Xarel·lo, Garnacha, Syrah, Tempranillo and more

• Natural wines, crafted with minimal intervention and without added sulphites

Each bottle reflects the estate’s commitment to purity, precision and the honest expression of terroir.
