The Catalan Wine Guide Festival is a major event in the Catalan wine industry. Since it was launched, the Guide has emerged as an essential tool for evaluating Catalan wines. The Guide places special importance on the use of native varieties and alternative containers to barrels to age the wine, such as amphorae.

Josep Maria Claret, head of Collbaix Celler el Molí, said the winery is ‘proud to have earned these scores, especially those for the two Singular d’Àmfora wines. Being included in the Guide, with high scores, obviously lends us great prestige. We are very happy.’
