Somewhere between tradition and modernity, Alella’s vines are gently caressed by the sea breeze as they scratch at the earth and bury their roots deep in the well-drained soils that retain the sun’s heat.


The Mediterranean climate of the coast coexists with a more continental microclimate further inland. The coastal range checks the winds and helps to condense the moisture carried inland from the sea.


Historically speaking, this small zone has supplied Barcelona with
wine and has presided over the tables of Barcelona’s well-to-do for
centuries.


The most typical wines of Alella, whether dry or sweet, are made
from different grape varieties and are light, aromatic and crystalline. The wines made with Pansa Blanca, which are often blended with Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc, are particularly noteworthy. The rosés, which are fresh, aromatic and light, are made with Grenache, Pansa Rosada and Merlot. The reds are fruity and mild and are made with Cabernet Sauvignon, Ull de Llebre or Tempranillo and Merlot.
