Celler Castell d'Encus is a winery in the Costers del Segre DOP, in Western Catalonia. The vineyards are located between 850 and 1250 metres asl in the Spanish Pre-Pyrenees, making them the highest vineyards in Catalonia.[2] The winery's name comes from the nearby abandoned medieval village and castle of Castelló d'Encús (ca).

Founded in 2001, the winery's first harvest was in 2008.[3] Since then, the winery has quickly built up a reputation for producing quality wines, with a number of both of its red and white wines receiving more than 90 points in the Spanish wine guide, Guía Peñín,[4] and over 90 points by Parker.[5] The winery follows organic farming practices, and uses geothermal energy in an effort to reduce energy expenditure and therefore its environmental impact.[6]

Along with using wood and steel tanks, the winery is using the medieval wine vats that are cut into the sandstone bedrock and date back to the 12th century.[1][7]
