The Penedès region lies settled
between the luminous Mediterranean coast
and the cool heights of the mountain ranges
along the coast of Catalonia between Barcelona
and Tarragona provinces the region covers
an area of a little over a thousand square
kilometers where the vineyards occupy about
25.000 hectares.
The climate is Mediterranean and mild with
an average temperature of 12ºC in the
upper Penedès,
where our vineyards are located , the soil
is mainly clay with a limestone basis ,
the undulating land rising gently from the
coast to the high ranges of the interior
enables the different varieties of grapes
to be planted on their most suitable microclimatic
areas, our vineyards are grown on slopes
and small hillocks that rise from 150 to
400 meters in height, Xarel.Lo, Macabeo,
Parellada, Chardonnay, Tempranillo, Cabernet
Suvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir vines fit
in this area to give their bests values.
