The Rovira family's 125-hectare estate in Bellmunt del Priorat has been certified organic (CCPAE) and has practised biodynamic farming since the fourth generation introduced it in 2008. The estate covers vineyards, olive groves, almond groves, and Mediterranean woodland. The property is certified organic but has not pursued formal biodynamic certification (Demeter), as the family found the full Demeter conversion too difficult to apply across the entire mixed-farming property.
Tip: Mas d'en Gil's biodynamic practices began in 2008 under the fourth generation of the Rovira family. Certification is organic (CCPAE); biodynamic methods are practised but not formally certified.
