Today, the winery is led by Xavier Clua, who combines his deep-rooted knowledge of traditional viticulture with modern academic insights to push the boundaries of quality and innovation. In 1995, the Clua family transitioned from producing bulk wines to crafting high-quality, bottled wines with personalized labels, focusing on meticulous grape selection and rigorous control of the winemaking process. As their reputation grew, Xavier’s wife, Rosa Domenech, an accomplished oenologist, joined the venture, further enhancing the winery’s expertise. This evolution culminated in 2006 with the establishment of a state-of-the-art facility that seamlessly integrates contemporary architecture and technology with the family's enduring passion for winemaking.

LAFOU CELLER
(Winery in Terra Alta)

Provides 1 wine tasting and winery visit from €34.00
The home of Lafou Celler can be found in Casa Figueras, which is an 18th-century stately house located in the heart of the old town of Batea (Terra Alta, Tarragona). The house was originally built on top of an old oil mill. The winery was founded in 2007 with a desire to produce wines that reflect the greatness of the Garnacha variety and a wine region as extraordinary as the Terra Alta. The landscape, the vineyard terraces, and the gorges make this an ideal place for this variety to express its true greatness.  It was Ramon Roqueta Segalés – who comes from a family with a long wine-making tradition that dates back to the 12th century – who undertook this personal project at Lafou. While studying enology in France, Ramon was seduced by the Garnacha variety, by its expression and its elegance. It was then that he began by looking for the territory where this variety best expresses itself.  Ramon was captivated by the region of Terra Alta (Tarragona) due to its style of Garnacha; its freshness, its genuineness, and its authenticity. Terra Alta possesses a long tradition in winemaking, a characteristic landscape of valleys and gorges, and an authenticity and belief in tradition. Since Lafou Celler was founded, it has aimed to express the values and identity of the territory and the Garnacha variety.
