Masia Vila-Rasa

Carretera de la Roca s/n, Taradell, Barcelona

This is a very special cellar due to the following reasons:

• I do not like pinot noir wine too much. However, this one is an exception. I reallly enjoy it, although it is not close to my favourite style of wine.
• There are no cellars in Osona. However, this one is an exception.
• Pinot noir wines tend to be very expensive, because this grape is really delicate and it requires to take too much care. However, this one is an exception (only 8,5 eur per bottle).
• You will not find this wine in a normal shop. Only in high level restaurants, such as Petit Comitè (Fermí Puig, the chef of the one Michelin star restaurant Drolma, inside Majestic Hotel). However, you can directly purchase wine in their facilities.

Worth to visit. Congratulations to Vila-Rasa for their very special product!

This is an excellent toro red wine. However, I feel that it is not competitive. Its cost is 29 eur at the vegasauco online shop. For this price I can purchase Pintia o San Román, which are better wines for me.

This is without any doubt one of the best sweet wines that I have ever tasted. Really special, delicate. it reminds me the violete flowers. Worth to taste it. Its price is 12,9 at the vegasauco online shop (they claim that it is a 0,75 bottle, but I think this is an error. This sweet wine is bottled in 0,5l bottles).

this is a red sparkling wine with a nice level of density and sweetness (although they claim that it is dry). Worth to taste. Is another history. Its price is 8 eur at the vega sauco online shop.

This is a nice muscat de Rivesaltes. It does not reach the outstanding level of Chateau Pradal, but it is pleasant to drink.

This is an excellent sheep cheese made from raw milk. They produce three kinds: semicurado, curado and reserva. Surprisingly, I enjoyed more the semicurado and curado than the reserva. My favourite one was the curado, although as a general rule, for me. the more matured it is, the better.
