Lafou Celler is the personal project that Ramón Roqueta started in 2007, setting his sights on Terra Alta, one of the most authentic wine-growing areas with a long history and great potential.

Ramón Roqueta is a young member of the well-known Roqueta family in Pla de Bages (Abadal Celler), who have been wine growers for a number of generations and from whom he has inherited not only all the enthusiasm, commitment, and passion for the wine but also all the respect for the earth and its fruits, which he now wants to transmit into his own personal project.

The Lafou Celler is located in the village of Batea, right in the village’s main square. The vineyard is between 300 and 500 meters above sea level and consists of 60 ha north of the municipal district of Batea.
