The MESTRES family have been documented in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia since 1312 as the owner of vineyards and also as traders of grains and wines. The family has been connected to the wine world for 29 generations. At the time, the date of 1312 was taken as the year of the establishment of the MESTRES vineyards.
During the Christmas of 1928 the first bottle of Cava MESTRES was produced, which Josep Mestres Manobens produced with grapes from the vintage 1925. From this date the family specialized in the production of sparkling wines with a very long maturation made according to the champagne way namely the traditional method. From that moment on, MESTRES only focused on high quality and became a reference and benchmark for top cavas. Josep Mestres Manobens is the one who has started using a high-quality basic wine to make a Cava using a 'champagne' ('champenoise' method) without adding a sugar-liquid (this is used for the extra fermentation by most houses), which he called "Visol" ((WINE ON IT'S OWN). Mestres only works with wine and no addition. This is how the first Brut Nature was born and has been registered in the Patent and Trademark office since 1948. So Mestres are the parents of Brut Nature Today the 29th generation of the MESTRES family follows the path of their predecessors and maintains the restless and enterprising spirit that characterized the MESTRES family, a winery with seven centuries of history.
Throughout all those years we have been able to follow tradition and respect a philosophy of unique elaboration, bringing the name MESTRES and the word CAVA to excellence. Mestres is the living history of Cava. Today the MESTRES Cava's all have very high ratings.
One hundred percent of the sparkling wines from Mestres are aged under cork in the bottle. Mestres is a very traditional Cava producer and is compared in style to the "López de Heredia & Tondonia" among the Cava.
