About Winery

The story of Celler Piñol mirrors the ascendance of Spanish wines in world markets over the past ten years. It is a story of how a reverence for old, treasured vineyards and the best family traditions have been combined with new winemaking methods to make the finest wines possible. The Piñol family has been vine growers for four generations. The switch to producing and selling their own wine occurred in 1945 when Josep Arrufi founded Celler Piñol.

The goal of this family-run estate was and has remained to produce small quantities of well-crafted wines with passion, love, and respect for the land. vines and profession are what makes their wines unique and knowledgeable all over the world. Highlighted with 90 to 95 points in every wine by Robert Parker (The Wine Advocate) and selected in some of the most notable wine selections magazines (Tanzer and Jancis Robinson, among others), their cellar has become one of the most prestigious basements in the area.
