The Martín Faixó family, from Cadaqués, embarked in 2000 on planting and recovering the vineyard in the Cap de Creus Natural Park. Four years later, the first grapes were picked by hand on the same land that their ancestors had worked on.
The wine adopts the name Perafita in reference to the name of the 14th century farmhouse that delimits the municipalities of Cadaqués, Roses and Port de la Selva and that in 2003 the family acquired and later restored to transform it into a winery. The family bond with the world of wine goes back a long way. On the mother's side (Faixó), they have always been dedicated to fishing and agriculture, with vineyards and later olive trees. On the father's side (Martín), they have worked in the restoration. For 35 years, the Martín Faixó family has been running the Can Rafa restaurant in Cadaqués. The current generation has merged these two family vocations with the creation of the Martín Faixó Winery. The winery has 14 hectares planted with vineyards in a slate-shaped mineral soil, of the Garnacha Tinta, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Picapoll and Moscatel de Alejandría varieties.
