Cades Penedès
The company was founded in 1972, through the union of four small distilleries and two major wine producers. The producers guaranteed the treatment of their byproducts, and the small distilleries, through the merger, were able to meet the growing investment demands that this activity already required at that time.
Brisa
It is the most important byproduct, obtained from the pressing of the grape.
Products obtained:

- Grape pomace: It is used for the production of grape seed oil.
- Dry pomace: It is the skin and pulp of the grape, reused as fuel or sold for animal feed or as organic fertilizer.

Wine
It is the most important byproduct, obtained from the pressing of the grape.
Products obtained:
- Alcohol for drinking purposes: Whether distilled or rectified. These are alcohols intended for the production of brandy or mistelles and special wines.
It is also worth highlighting the production of electrical energy from renewable sources.
The electric energy is obtained from the combustion of biogas in an Otto cycle engine. This biogas comes from our treatment plant through the anaerobic digestion of the residual organic matter from our production process.
