ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

The origins of the NAVERAN name were recovered in 1840 when Pablo Parellada, a worker from a paper factory, sailed to Buenos Aires as a representative of thread paper, which was used at the time for official documents.

Years later, he returned to Barcelona, having made his fortune in America and visited Sr. Onofre de Naveran, Marquis of Guernica, who accepted his proposal of marriage to his eldest daughter. Following the wedding, he returned to Buenos Aires, but his pregnant wife fell victim to yellow fever. Upon her death, greatly devastated, he sold all his belongings in Buenos Aires and returned to Spain to deliver the sad news to his father in law. His father in law proposed that Pablo should marry his younger daughter.

This marriage produced a son; Pablo Parellada de Naveran, who married Antonia Olivé. This marriage, in turn, produced a daughter; Antonia Parellada de Naveran, who married Rene Gillieron. They went on to have an only son – Michel Gilleron Parellada de Naveran.

Cavas Naveran was thus founded in 1984 by Michel, a businessman and enologist with extensive knowledge of the Penedès land and who decided to promote a project deeply rooted in the terrain of his ancestors, which would maintain its ever-present traditional family culture.
