Celler Magi Baiget was founded by Magi in a small garage operation winery in Cornudella with collaboration of Joan and Eloi Mila. Later Magi Baiget associated with the Busquets family of Reus and installed the winery in an old recovered ‘bodega’ along the Siurana river.
The ‘garnatxa’ of Cordunella, claimed to be of a unique kind, possesses a high acidity level, especially in old vines on mountain slopes. This makes it possible for Eloi Mila to make a very fresh, fruity and easy drinking wine like ‘Octubre’, named after the month of harvest.
Moreres is a modern wine blended with Grenache, Carignan, Cabernet, Syrah and Merlot.
Sel·lecció is a hand picked quality selection only produced in exceptional years like 2004 and 2006, with many expected years of live on the bottle.
Aurí is a sophisticated wine made with ‘garnatxa roja’, another unique derivation of the grenache family. A white-golden rather dry dessert wine, produced with the ‘pansification’-method.
