The land we care for

You cannot understand a masia without understanding the land around it.

Across Catalonia, masies were built as working farms since the 11th century. The main building was only one piece of the puzzle. Around it were the vineyards, olive trees, forests, orchards, vegetable gardens, and grazing land that fed the people who lived there and gave the estate its reason for being.

Many such houses were abandoned during industrialization, others unfortunately have been sold or changed hands during the years. We are proud that Mas Palou remains a mainly agricultural project in the Penedès Wine Region where our family lives since the 14th century.

You’ll find a place that is lived in, and cared for with respect for the land. The vineyards become our wines, the forests and fields are home to our herd of goats, and the olive trees continue to produce extra virgin olive oil.

Winery

Our organic vineyards shape the landscape of Mas Palou. Planted with mostly native varieties, some plots are as old as 80 years. We tend them with care and attention, always reading the weather, which shapes each vintage in its own way.

Farm

A new chapter is taking shape at Mas Palou. A small herd of goats is back on the estate, just as it was decades ago. They’ll help care for the forest, clearing undergrowth and reducing fire risk, while grazing our fields. From their milk, small-batch cheeses will soon follow.
