Catalonia is one of the most prestigious wine regions in Spain
Catalonia is one of the most prestigious wine regions in Spain, with a tradition dating back to Roman times. The diverse climate and fertile soil favour the production of high-quality wines, both red and white, with several world-renowned designations of origin (DO).
Among the main wine regions are Penedès, famous for its white wines and Cava (Catalan sparkling wine), Priorat, known for its full-bodied and intense reds, and Empordà, which produces a variety of wines influenced by the Mediterranean climate.
Among the typical grapes, Xarel·lo, Macabeo and Parellada are widely used in the production of Cava, while Garnacha and Cariñena stand out for red wines. Barcelona and its surrounding area offer a variety of wineries for tastings and wine tourism experiences. For wine lovers, exploring Catalan labels is a sensory journey through the region's culture and tradition.
