Alta Alella obtains the new Integral Producer quality stamp

2022.04.08

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.

Digitalisation of the Vine: better work control and respect for the environment 

Digitalisation of the Vine: better work control and respect for the environment

2022.02.22

At Alta Alella, we continue our commitment to adopt digital technologies in the vineyard, which simplify our day-to-day work and help us being more efficient, minimizing our environmental impact and reducing costs.

During the last year, Alta Alella’s technical team has incorporated the use of Auravant software for agriculture, which allows us to carry out Precision Agriculture. Specifically, this tool interprets nanosatellite images and translates them into simple and intuitive data, dividing vines according to vigor zones and plant water status. This enables us to know the status of each of our vineyards at any time and from anywhere, using a mobile device, without the need to visit each vineyard on a daily basis. Furthermore, it gives us considerable detailed information, which contributes to decision-making and permits us to act in a much more precise and selective way, even on different vines within the same vineyard. This makes it easier for us to manage our resources and use only those that are minimally necessary for cultivation. For example, we can use fertilizers in a more flexible way, apply plant protection products permitted in organic farming according to the sensitivity of the area, and save water, thanks to the fact that we can quantify the water status of the plant and therefore evaluate the irrigation need. Also, during ripening, it enables us to classify the zones within each vineyard and to harvest the grapes according to their state, thus obtaining a product with a high quality and a low environmental impact.

In addition to this news, it has been four years since Alta Alella began working with Agroptima, an application that provides us with greater traceability of the tasks carried out in the field and allows us to have a more rigorous control. By using this tool, we can record and consult all the tasks executed in the vineyard from anywhere in a quick and easy way, reducing the margin of error that can result from manual data entry. This way, we also have all the information updated instantly and we can extract profitability reports that help us being more efficient and reducing costs.
