The Family
Miquel Pons is the brand that our family, after 250 years and several generations passing on the task of caring for the vineyards and making wine, began to bottle and market. From the old farmhouse of Cal Montargull, the name of the house, now in the town of La Granada del Penedès, where the winery is located, always in the Penedès and Cava denomination of origin area.

The farm has 60 hectares of vines, of which 40 are owned and the rest leased. They extend from the south of Arboç to the northern end of Subirats; which allows us to cultivate the various grape varieties in different geographical characteristics. The lands of the Penedès have always been characterized as one of the best productive areas for the cultivation of vines due to its winds, richness in nutrients and its privileged rainfall, which allows the obtaining of grapes of exceptional quality.

The cavas and wines we sell are distinguished by the Montargull brands, for varietal grapes, Miquel Pons, for the more traditional range, Eulàlia de Pons for the most sophisticated palates, and Arrelium for the younger wines. Unius is our brand of extra virgin olive oil Arbequina, closing the most representative circle of millennial products made on the Mediterranean coast, and which thus make up our product menu.
