Castillo Perelada La Garriga 2010

One of the most characteristic geological features of the Empordà is the remarkable heterogeneity of its soils. On the plains, the soils are basically of fluvial origin: clay-silt with sand and gravel. On the slopes there is an abundance of slate. Castillo Perelada takes advantage of the different characteristics that each of these soil types bring to the grape in order to produce single-vineyard wines, known in Spain as vinos de finca. These wines have a clearly defined identity, and their personality is indelibly characterised by the vineyard from which they are born.
