Meet Mireia Pujol-Busquets, co-owner and second generation of Alta Alella. Mireia narrates her first contacts with the world of wine, the influence of her parents, her commitment to sustainability and the adaptation of viticulture to climate change. She also explores the creation of Celler de les Aus, the winery dedicated to wines and sparkling wines without added sulfites, and the importance of wine tourism for the winery, offering unique experiences for wine lovers.

“They have influenced me a lot in a good way: they have taught me to value and love our territory and to develop a project in a place with a wine tradition, particularly instilling in me the value of recovering the history of the place.”

Cupatges, the Catalan online media dedicated to wine and gastronomy, publishes an extensive report on Mireia Pujol-Busquets and her role in the Alta Alella winery. Territory, quality and sustainability are the three pillars on which the journalist, Lourdes López, focuses.

“Mireia Pujol-Busquets, deputy director of the winery and member of the second generation, is the woman in front. She is a leading and determined woman who defends that this is her place, her vineyard, her home and her family’s. She has a bee in her bonnet about a major challenge for the future: to make constantly better wines that represent the territory, honest and well made. And all this, while taking care of this beautiful landscape where the winemaking cooperative movement was born at the beginning of the 20th century; where sustainability is imperative”, the journalist states.

This is the first in a series of articles entitled “Women winemakers: the wine revolution of the territory”, which begins today on the occasion of International Women’s Day 2024.

Alta Alella is one of the 15 wineries that produce their cava entirely on the property, out of the more than 300 wineries that are part of the appellation

The journalist Paz Álvarez highlights in El País Gastro “The 15 ‘Pata Negra’ families of cava”, referring to the 15 wineries that hold the quality and traceability stamp Integral Producer. Among them is Alta Alella, owned by the Pujol-Busquets family. “This is the result of our passion, which has led us to live next to our vineyards and turn it into a special place,” Mireia Pujol-Busquets explains to Álvarez.

The digital media Tendencias Hoy recommends the sweet red wine of the Pujol-Busquets family, Alta Alella Dolç Mataró, to enjoy and delight this holiday season. “Delicate, perfumed and very subtle“, notes the author, José Manuel Torres. It is a wine made from the Mataró grape variety, with “concentrated aromas (…), and a perfect and refreshing acidity in the mouth”.

The wine magazine recaps the achievements of the Pujol-Busquets Family’s cava

“In the competitive world of wine, few achievements are as significant as the continuous acknowledgement of quality and excellence.” Vinetur, ‘the digital wine magazine’, thus highlights the great milestone achieved by the Pujol-Busquets family: the fact that Alta Alella 10 has been chosen best cava for the third consecutive year by the Guía Peñín. “This recognition not only reaffirms the leadership of Alta Alella in the wine scene, but also highlights the singularity and richness of the Alella territory, in the region of Barcelona”, reads the specialized media.
