Fittingly, the story of Maria Gir Ribots family is just as romantic as the setting. As her grandfather wasnt the family’s first-born son, under Catalan law he couldn’t inherit their farm, nor their legacy of cava. Instead, he went on to marry the only daughter of a renowned spirits family in the neighboring villageand their own son, Manual Gir (Marias father), had a storied career in that field. In 1977, Manuel returned to Sant Fe to purchase the Masia (rural estate) next to the same farmhouse where his dad had been born. Seor Gir passed just 1 year later, but his children, Maria and Manuel, rediscovered their roots and began producing cava once again. Thus, although it essentially skipped a generation in their family, Maria crafts her wine today in the same location as her forefathers.
