districts) of El Pallars Jussà, El Segrià, L’Urgell, Les Garrigues, La
Noguera and La Segarra. The region has seven sub-zones: Artesa de
Segre, Les Garrigues, El Pallars,Raimat, Segrià, Les Valls del Riu Corb
and L’Urgell.


The contrasts in temperature associated with the continental climate
of this area is emphasised by its high exposure to solar radiation
and low rainfall. Each sub-zone has different climatic and soil
characteristics and landscapes with both mountains and plains. DO

and their use of modern, innovative techniques.


The red wines, which predominate in this area, are made with
Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Ull de Llebre or
Tempranillo. They are typically strong, balanced and well-structured.
The rosés, made with Ull de Llebre or Tempranillo, Merlot and
Cabernet Sauvignon, are normally fresh and fruity.


The white wines are either traditional, and made with Macabeu,
Xarel·lo and Parellada, or modern, and made with Chardonnay,
Sauvignon Blanc or Riesling. White grapes are also destined for
making Cava.
