Located in the middle of Catalonia, at the eastern end of the Central
depression, there is a wine-producing island known as El Pla de Bages.


The Mediterranean mountain microclimate, characterised by limited
rainfall and a very sharp differences in temperature, is very well-suited
to vine cultivation. The poor, undulating soils form the personality of
these wines. The rigorous climate yields few grapes, but ones full of
excellent quality.


The terraced vines and associated drystone constructions that form
the landscape of this territory and are products of the wine tradition
of DO Pla de Bages.


The production of red wines is very important. Ull de Llebre, Merlot,
Sumoll and Cabernet Sauvignon are the most common varieties used,
with a lesser presence of the Red Grenache, Pinot Noir and Syrah
varieties. The resulting wines are typically fruity with good aromas.
The Piquepoul is the most emblematic autochthonous variety and
produces light, exquisite, white wines. It is also possible to find white
wines made from Macabeu, Parellada and Chardonnay. The rosé
wines are modern in character and made with Merlot and Cabernet
Sauvignon.
