Katalonien

Catalonia is a reputed region in the North-East of Spain. The Catalans are the driving force and the greatest innovators in the Spanish winegrowing world. They were the first to produce sparkling wine in accordance with the méthode champenoise in Penedès – Cava continues to play an important role here. This large wine region contains all microclimates one could possibly imagine for viticulture. In the vicinity of the coast, the sea ensures a fresh and humid climate, whereas further inland it tends to be dry and hot. Mountain ranges with their hilly ridges and steep slopes give rise to extraordinary terroirs, in particular calcareous and limestone soils. Supported by the innovative spirit of the native winegrowers, these natural conditions yield plenty of outstanding wines.
