The Pujol-Busquets family is once again a pioneer regarding the guarantee, traceability, and quality of Cava thanks to the new Integral Producer stamp, in addition to the Cava de Paraje qualification already obtained when it was created. This distinction recognizes cavas 100% pressed and vinified on the winery’s property, the high quality of the product and their commitment to the territory
Alta Alella is once again a pioneer in the cava sector and reinforces its commitment to the guarantee, traceability, and quality of the product. The winery has already been recognized with the Cava de Paraje qualification since it was conceived, and now receives the new Integral Producer stamp certified by the Cava Regulatory Council. This stamp enables the customer to identify more easily those wineries of the D.O. Cava that carry out the entire Cava production process at their own estate, which implies a guarantee of product traceability. In this way, it certifies that the entire production of the Pujol-Busquets family is carried out on the property, without buying wine or bottles from other producers, and that their cavas are marketed under brands that are not shared with other cava producers. This measure is in addition to the recent changes in the zoning and segmentation of the DO, with the aim of promoting the status of cava.
The Integral Producer stamp implies rigorous compliance with the Regulatory Board’s requirements, which is a further step in the quality demands that Alta Alella imposes on itself for all its products. During the next days, the family will adapt the labelling of all its cavas to the regulations so that the bottles will bear the stamp.
Commitment to nature and the product
Cava is embarking on a new stage towards the elite and Alta Alella is an active part of this journey, being the precursor of each new quality qualification awarded by the Cava Regulatory Council. This is possible not only because of the quality of its cavas, but also because of its commitment to the origin, the land, and sustainability.
In July 2017, the winery was one of the first to obtain the Paraje Calificado certification from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, a recognition of the singularity of Paraje Vallcirera. That same year, we presented our two cavas certified with the Cava de Paraje Calificado Vallcirera seal: Alta Alella Mirgin Exeo and Alta Alella Mirgin Opus. In addition, Vallcirera is the only Paraje Calificado ecologic since the beginning, and located in a natural park. Now, at the beginning of 2022, the Pujol-Busquets family has also been honored with the rigorous Integral Producer stamp, a certification that only 13 of the 370 wineries that make Cava have received.
