Wine Guides: Empordà, Catalonia, Spain
ISBN: 9780983771821
For most people visiting Catalonia and its capital, Barcelona, wine isn’t often the first thing on one’s mind. Most of us head to the beach, shop, imbibe, or meander about the ancient cities and villages that define this Catalan part of Spain.
For those who make it up to the north, perhaps to visit the Dalí Museum in Figueres, you’ll find yourself in a whole different world from Barcelona. In the midst of the two Empordà counties, you’ll see vineyards spilling out across the plain and up the sides of the mountains.
Winemaking in this region dates back at least 2,500 years and has seen a massive resurgence in the last decade. For those looking to taste some fantastic wines in between absorbing sun on the Costa Brava you’ll find yourself with no end of options. After all, the grapes love the area for the same people do: the sun. So, why not have both?
