Celler Clua
About the Winery
Celler Xavier Clua is a historic winery nestled in the sun-soaked, arid region of Terra Alta in Catalonia, specifically in the quaint town of Vilalba dels Arcs. With a lineage of viticulture stretching back to medieval times, the Clua family has been passionately involved in vine-growing and winemaking for four generations. 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.
