Ferrer Wines injects €30M following Freixenet sale
Ferrer Wines boasts a portfolio covering the most relevant wine-growing regions for the professional channel. In Rioja, it offers Solar Viejo and Orube; in Ribera del Duero and Rueda, Valdubón; in Rías Baixas and Monterrei, Vionta; in Priorat and Montsant, Morlanda and Fra Guerau; and in Catalonia, La Freixeneda, Cavas Hill, and Can Sala—the latter being a Cava de Paraje Calificado (Qualified Single Estate Cava). In Argentina’s Uco Valley, it operates Finca Ferrer. Furthermore, it produces base wine through Vins Font and distributes international references such as Champagne Abelé 1757 and Prosecco La Marca, complemented by the Galician liqueurs Habelas Hailas. This structure allows the group to offer comprehensive solutions for both by-the-glass wine lists in HoReCa and retail shelves and specialized distribution, featuring various price tiers and market positioning.
Profitable growth and operational investments
In 2025, Ferrer Wines reported a turnover of €30 million.
For 2026, the group forecasts a 10% increase, driven primarily by international business, and expects to reach a positive EBITDA following the family capital injection that has significantly reduced debt. President Pedro Ferrer Noguer highlighted the goal of growing profitably and consolidating the current structure, ruling out major acquisitionsfor the time being. This year, €1 million will be allocated to upgrading the Cavas Hill facilities, following a €2.3 million investment in the Valdubón winery in 2025. CEO Silvia Carné reinforced this message: investing in wine today is a “bold decision,” following the strengthening of the executive team with the appointment of Ferran Ribalta as General Manager.
Commitment to Cava and long-term vision
Pedro Ferrer has publicly expressed concern regarding the disunity within the Cava sector, particularly following the departure of Juvé & Camps from the DO Cava to join Corpinnat.
Despite this reflection, Ferrer Wines remains committed to high-quality Cava through Cavas Hill and Can Sala, while accelerating the development of still wines—a segment offering greater stability and margins in today’s B2B channels. The group positions itself as a solid family business with a long-term vision, capable of providing importers, distributors, and HoReCa and retail professionals with a diversified portfolio of proven quality and sustainable growth potential.
