Tomàs Cusiné, building on his 20 years of experience in wine, founded his own winery, which goes by his name, in 2003. Already the wines are winning critical acclaim. Spain's leading wine critic, José Peñín, gave 91 points to Tomàs Cusiné's Geol 2003, calling it the revelation of the year from the area, emphasizing the wine's "silky tannins and grand expression of ripe fruit" (Guía Peñín 2005)

Tomàs in one of two brothers who own the Castell de Remei winery, which in turn owns the Cérvoles winery, all of which are located in the same Costers del Segre D.O. This D.O. was created in 1986 and is noted for it for its elevation (700 m / 2300 ft) , its dry climate (450mm / 17.8 in. per year average rainfall), wide extremes of summer (35ºC+ / 95ºF+) and winter tempratures (0ºC- / 32ºF-). In summer, there is a average drop of 15ºC / 27ºF at night, a contrast that is highly beneficial to creating premium wines.

The Tomàs Cusiné Winery is located in the Les Garrigues sub-zone and owns some 36 hectares (14.6 acres) of land which is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Garnacha and Chardonnay. They use French oak barrels and have a total average production of 40,000 bottles per year.
