Roots
The land as a bond to keep the family together.
El nostre vincle amb el Penedès comença als anys 50 quan l'Avi Pere, paleta de professió ("Mestre d'obres" com deia ell) va comprar un tros de terra al Penedès. No tenia cap intenció de fer vi, sinó de tenir un espai amb la família i treballar la terra els caps de setmana per obtenir els seus fruits (tomàquets, patates, les faves!...). Aquesta propietat la vam batejar com "La Vinya".
Over time, one realizes that La Vinya was the channel for the family to meet and stay together around an activity. It was the vehicle for being in the countryside as a family. Mr. ROC was born in 2011 when Ingrid and Isaac, having a glass of wine in the Penedès, said: "Why don't we create a wine for our family and friends? If everyone around us does it, it won't be so difficult!" The naivety of those young people of 20 or so quickly saw that it wasn't that easy.
They planted 120 vines in their first "Experiment" (as Isaac's mother, Aurora, called it).
Sant Martí Sarroca (hence the name Mr. ROC) where they were able to see the complexity of the countryside and making good wine.
Years later in 2015, and after training in Oenology, they met Enric, a farmer by profession who taught them how to make a good cava. After 2 years of making the first release, they named their first cava Menestral.
Our mission is to keep the spirit of Grandpa Pere alive and Mr. ROC is our vehicle to maintain the bond with our land and family and friends, never forgetting our roots.
We are kept alive and excited by the fact that the Mr. ROC family is growing every day and this will be our legacy for our children. Do you want to be part of the Mr. ROC community?
