Can Lluís has always served the food and wine of this land. This list gathers the wines we love to pour every day: small family wineries, native grapes (xarel·lo, garnacha, carignan, trepat, picapoll, mandó) and every Catalan appellation, from Empordà to Terra Alta.
Tap the wines marked with + to meet the house behind them: where they come from, who makes them and what to pair them with. All the information comes from the wineries themselves.
Roger de Flor Brut NatureCava · Macabeo, xarel·lo, parellada€3.85Roger de Flor
Cava · Sant Sadurní d'Anoia
A cava from the Raventós Codorníu group in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia. There, in 1872, Josep Raventós made the first cava by the traditional method, with macabeo, xarel·lo and parellada. Its cellars, designed by Puig i Cadafalch, have been a national monument since 1976.
Brut nature, with no added sugar: fresh, clean and dry.
Our cava by the glass: for a toast, with aperitifs and to start the meal.
Roger de Flor was a Templar and a pirate. In 1303 he led 4,000 Catalan almogavars to Byzantium; he was murdered at a banquet in 1305, and the reply was the Catalan Vengeance.
