During this time he was one of the pioneers of the area producing still wines, which he made for his own consumption and for sharing only with family and closest friends. Over time he acquired more vineyards, some of them located in the historic Sant Pau Mountain, an area with rich landscape and very varied soils. His vision inspired our grandfather, Josep Masachs Juvé, to keep producing wine. He took his father’s hobby and made it his profession and turned his house, known to everyone as Cal Cabanyes, into his manufacturing center. This is where we began to produce sparkling wines by the artisanal and traditional method.<br />In 1950 our first labeled cava (known as Champán or Xampany at that time) saw the light, under the name of Les Cabanyes and accompanied by the emblem of the family. The shield of Masachs represents the earth, in addition to other characteristics that enriched our ancestors such as vigor, joy and friendship. The perfect distinctive symbol to represent our wines. In the 60s, the wine was no longer allowed to be produced at home, mechanization was introduced and the first tractors began to be seen in the area. In 1977 the next generation took over the family business, Josep and Joan Masachs Painous put all their effort to ensure that the products were fully recognised. Meanwhile, Vilafranca grew and many vineyard areas became urban soil. At that time, the decision was made to set a commercial office in Ponent Street.<br />In 1980 a new line of cavas was released, Louis de Vernier. Slowly it was known by its quality first nationally and later on internationally. In 1984, right before harvest, Josep’s first daughter Carolina was born, and a special coupage was made in her name. For the first time, grapes of the Chardonnay variety grown in our vineyards, were used in one of our products. In 1985, these entrepreneurs projected a growth plan and to this end bought La Montsarra estate, 40 hectares located in Torrelles de Foix. There, they built the underground ‘cava’ respecting the catalonian manors’ style and planted the classic cava varieties: Macabeo, Xarel·lo and Parellada.<br />After a long aging on its lees, the Carolina cava was released. Besides, still wines made by local and foreign varieties were first marketed. The harvest was extended from the end of August to the middle of October, taking into account the degree of ripeness of each variety that was fermented separately later in the winery.

During this time he was one of the pioneers of the area producing still wines, which he made for his own consumption and for sharing only with family and closest friends. Over time he acquired more vineyards, some of them located in the historic Sant Pau Mountain, an area with rich landscape and very varied soils. His vision inspired our grandfather, Josep Masachs Juvé, to keep producing wine. He took his father’s hobby and made it his profession and turned his house, known to everyone as Cal Cabanyes, into his manufacturing center. This is where we began to produce sparkling wines by the artisanal and traditional method.<br />In 1950 our first labeled cava (known as Champán or Xampany at that time) saw the light, under the name of Les Cabanyes and accompanied by the emblem of the family. The shield of Masachs represents the earth, in addition to other characteristics that enriched our ancestors such as vigor, joy and friendship. The perfect distinctive symbol to represent our wines. In the 60s, the wine was no longer allowed to be produced at home, mechanization was introduced and the first tractors began to be seen in the area. In 1977 the next generation took over the family business, Josep and Joan Masachs Painous put all their effort to ensure that the products were fully recognised. Meanwhile, Vilafranca grew and many vineyard areas became urban soil. At that time, the decision was made to set a commercial office in Ponent Street.<br />In 1980 a new line of cavas was released, Louis de Vernier. Slowly it was known by its quality first nationally and later on internationally. In 1984, right before harvest, Josep’s first daughter Carolina was born, and a special coupage was made in her name. For the first time, grapes of the Chardonnay variety grown in our vineyards, were used in one of our products. In 1985, these entrepreneurs projected a growth plan and to this end bought La Montsarra estate, 40 hectares located in Torrelles de Foix. There, they built the underground ‘cava’ respecting the catalonian manors’ style and planted the classic cava varieties: Macabeo, Xarel·lo and Parellada.<br />After a long aging on its lees, the Carolina cava was released. Besides, still wines made by local and foreign varieties were first marketed. The harvest was extended from the end of August to the middle of October, taking into account the degree of ripeness of each variety that was fermented separately later in the winery. All of this was done by working in our own vineyards and through long-term leases. Nowadays, the fourth generation of the family has arrived with an open and innovative mindset.

Led by Matt Fowles, a former lawyer who swapped the vitriol for the vineyard, Fowles Wine craft some of Australia’s finest cool climate wines, winning many of the world’s most prestigious wine medals and trophies. The Strathbogie Ranges is approximately 80 miles north east of Melbourne, and is a region of incredible natural beauty. Set in the foothills of Australia’s Great Dividing Range, the region is characterised by giant granite boulders that are 440 million years old. The family’s two vineyards - Upton Run and Billi’s - rest upon the free draining, granite soil from these decomposing boulders. The nutrient poor soil is ideal for viticulture; forcing the vines to put their energy into growing high-quality grapes. The vineyards are also perched on a rolling plateau at the top of the Ranges – giving each block unique aspects and micro climates which ensures each bottle of Fowles’ Wine is complex and distinctive. The high altitude of the area, with elevations up to 600 metres, granitic soils and cool climate all combine to produce elegant yet intense wines. The Fowles’ rich family history of vignerons, hunters and farmers is embedded in the winemaking philosophy.
