    The work at Alta Alella is tied to ecological wines, with all the vines grown organically.

That approach asks for discipline in the vineyard and restraint in the cellar. Under Josep Maria Pujol-Busquets i Camps, the style stays measured and direct, built around attentiveness to the vines and the choices that follow from them.
