The result of a selection of grapes from five emblematic terroirs, each contributing its unique character, from limestone soils to slate, reflecting the diversity and identity of the landscape.
Each of Perelada’s five estates, spread across the northern part of the region, has its own identity: a terroir shaped by very different soil compositions and diverse origins, from the slate of Finca Garbet to the clay of Malaveïna and the river pebbles of La Garriga. This mosaic is captured in a complex, nuanced wine that embodies in a single bottle the essence of this land, where the Tramuntana wind chisels the character of the vineyard.
