From the windmill to solar energy
Sustainability
Sustainability is not a new idea on the estate. Back in 1946, a windmill was installed to generate energy, at a time when making the most of available resources was a matter of necessity, ingenuity, and respect for what was within reach.

That same spirit lives on today. In 2022, solar panels were installed to power both the winery and the farmhouse with green energy, reinforcing a way of working that seeks to reduce energy impact and maintain coherence between the vineyard, the winery, and the estate.

From wind energy to solar energy, the estate has evolved without losing sight of an essential idea: making better use of resources and moving toward an increasingly responsible model.
New tools to work the land better
Innovation
Every era has had its own innovation. In 1950, the first tractor arrived at the estate, a milestone that transformed how the vineyards were worked and opened a new era of mechanization. Later, a truck arrived to handle deliveries to Barcelona, bringing the estate's wines and cavas to new customers and markets.

Today, this spirit of innovation continues with projects like Rovinya, an autonomous electric robot created at Celler Eudald Massana. Its modular design offers a vision of a more efficient, precise, and sustainable viticulture—capable of assisting with various field tasks while reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

Rovinya embodies a way of understanding innovation directly from the land: technology at the service of the soil, not to replace the farmer’s watchful eye, but to complement it with new tools that help us work better, with greater precision and respect for the earth.
Growing without forgetting where we come from
Progress
The arrival of grid electricity at the farmhouse in 1963, alongside the purchase of its first car, marked a new era for both the family and the estate. These changes eased daily routines and connected the farmhouse to a rapidly advancing world.

Yet progress at Celler Eudald Massana has always come with one condition: preserving its deep connection to the land. Every new tool, improvement, and decision has been a step toward adapting to changing times without losing the farming, family, and winemaking essence that defines us.
Family memories among the vines
Ever-present wine
During the summers of the 1960s and 70s, the farmhouse was filled with relatives, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who came to stay for a few days. The estate was a place of life, play, and togetherness, where children ran through the vineyards and mischief was always brewing.

During the harvest, too, wine was a part of everyday life. The workers ate lunch in the vineyard and brought a wineskin filled with their wine. The mischievous children of the house would hide the foreman's wineskin, setting off chases among the vines.

These are small memories, but they reveal a deep truth: here, wine has never been just a product. It has been landscape, family, work, celebration, and a way of life.
A place of life within the estate
The irrigation pond
Inside the estate there is an old stone washhouse that, in the 1960s, was converted into a basin to collect water and irrigate the vegetable garden. But for many children and young people from Sant Pau, it was also an improvised swimming pool, a place to spend summers and learn to swim.

That basin speaks of a living, open, and shared estate. A space where water, land, family, and the village were all part of the same everyday landscape.

Today, these memories continue to bring value to the estate. Because a land is not preserved through vineyards and vines alone, but also through the memory of everything that has taken place upon it.
Patience also takes root
Trees
Trees mark time, people, and the land. In front of the farmhouse stands a pine tree that arrived mixed in with other trees meant for the garden, brought from the estate’s woods. It was small, and it wasn't clear if it would take root, but Josep Massana Carbó, the seventh generation of the family, decided to let it grow.

Over the years, that pine took deep root, growing into a twenty-meter-tall tree that is still part of the estate's landscape today. It is a simple image, yet rich in meaning: with patience, care, and perseverance, what seems fragile can end up becoming a symbol.

In a way, this pine also reflects a way of doing things: working well, day after day, trusting in time, and understanding that great milestones often spring from small decisions sustained with constancy.
