Vinícola de Nulles is a historic cooperative winery founded in 1917 in the village of Nulles, in the Alt Camp comarca of Tarragona, Catalunya. The cooperative was born from the collective ambition of local vine growers to rebuild after the devastating phylloxera crisis. The winery operates from a spectacular Modernista building designed by Cèsar Martinell, a disciple of Antoni Gaudí. Known as a "Cathedral of Wine," the structure features iconic parabolic arches built from local lime and clay, engineered to optimize light and temperature for winemaking. The cooperative unites nearly 100 partners who farm approximately 400 hectares across the Mediterranean landscape surrounding Nulles. While 90% of production is base wine for cava sold to larger producers, they bottle their own range under the Adernats brand — wines expressing the territory shaped by Mediterranean breezes and generations of viticultural knowledge.
