Celler Cercavins

Located in the village of Verdú, in the province of Lleida, Catalonia’s western edge, bodega Celler Cercavins was founded in 2003 by Josep Solé, Josep Hernández and Flavià Serret, three friends with a common passion for wine.

The estate vineyards of Celler Cercavins - a project focused on the production of honest wines at reasonable prices – cover a surface area around 60 hectares in the Vall de Riu Corb subzone of the DO Costers del Segre. This is a rather dry area, with less than 400 mm of rainfall per year, excruciatingly hot summers and huge temperature differences between daytime and nighttime, which help the grapes to ripe slowly and steadily and also to develop very good levels of natural acidity.

The catalogue of grape varieties cultivated by the Celler Cercavins winery is quite wide, from traditional ones, like Ull de Llebre (Tempranillo), Macabeo, Parellada and White Grenache, to international varieties, like Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer.

The wine portfolio of bodega Cercavins is comprised solely of still wines, red, wine and rosé. The main product line of the Cercavins winery is called Bru de Verdú, comprising a white a two reds, one of which is Bru de Verdú 14, the winery’s flagship bottle, aged for 14 months in oak barrels. Supervised by the oenologist Enric Gil, the company produces around 200,000 bottles of wine per year.
